WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO KNOW —

1. Hand N Hand is coming Monday, October 18th at 5:30! Kids are invited to wear their costumes! We will have a story and song time, supper, a scavenger hunt, and decorate pumpkins! Invite your friend’s families! Let us know you plan to attend to plan for food and fun!
2. PARTY LINE PRAYER MEETING … would you be interested in participating in a “party line” prayer meeting? We would all telephone a number and share needs for prayer and have a time of fellowship with one another as a group over the phone. It would last as long as we wanted—perhaps on Wednesday evening and/or a weekday morning. Please let the pastor know if you are interested.
3. THE PURPOSE OF A MEMBERSHIP AUDIT for both Kinmundy & Wesley Churches:
   1. To update contact information; we may need your help with this.
   2. To visit, probably by phone, and be up to date on life, especially with folks who haven’t attended in a while.
   3. To learn how I, as their pastor, can pray for each of our members, and how they are doing spiritually.
   4. To update our membership records, and learn how people feel about being a member of our church. Every person connected to our church remains a part of our church family and the history of our church forever. Sometimes people move away and, over the years, join another church and we are not aware.
   
4. We will be going through the membership book alphabetically for Kinmundy first, listing four names each week for prayer. Here are the names for this week:
   1. Steve & Erica Fox; Regan
   2. Celeste Fox & Emery
   3. Serena Germany
   4. James & Jessica Gile; Alexa
      We do not have complete contact information for those names above in italics. Can you help us? Also, if we misspell names, we apologize. Please let us know the correct spelling.
      
5. SOBER REALITIES: Unvaccinated people may choose to wear masks for their own safety and the safety of other non-vaccinated people. Please do not crowd each other as we adjust to this change.
   Physical distance is the most effective precaution against COVID!
   It is possible but unlikely that a vaccinated person can get COVID. A vaccinated person with COVID is as contagious as anyone else, so some may choose to wear masks to protect others. You can be contagious before you even know you are ill. Not everyone feels safe not wearing a mask—please be kind. We’ve had a tough year! Please pray for wisdom for our government leaders and a calm response throughout this current surge of the Delta variant.
   
6. NEW CONSTRUCTION — Carpenters are building a lean to on the South side of the church garage. Our picnic tables will be under roof and give parents a place to sit while their children enjoy our playground.
