our discipleship by dedicating a financial
commitment to caring for, and managing all
that God has given us. Your participation in
our “Go Deeper” 2016 Financial Campaign
reflects the care and concern you have for
fellow members, your larger community, and
special missions around the world.

"For everything there is a season,
and a time for every matter under
heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1
Almost 16 years ago, Circle of Praise came together as a small
ensemble. We began as a group of young moms who simply enjoyed
praising God in song. Now, with our children grown, we have entered
a different phase of life: working, traveling, and often visiting those
young adult children! So, despite it being a difficult decision, we
believe God is calling for the “season” of Circle of Praise to draw to a
close. We have loved worshiping as a group and sincerely appreciate
the support we've received from our congregation. Thank you for your
encouragement! We are grateful to our accompanist and vocal
coach Jan Sutherland. Most of all, we thank God for this opportunity
He has given us.
We will sing for worship on December 6 and our final time together will
be December 24 at the 9:00 pm Christmas Eve service.

Project Housing Connect
Project Housing Connect will be held once again at
FUMC on Wednesday, November 4. People who are
homeless, or in danger of losing their housing, will
gather for information, guidance, and lunch. Our
church helps by providing a variety of goods and
volunteers to help make our friends in need welcome
and cared for during the event.
You can help! Please consider donating any of the following:
� gently used or new coats, hats, and gloves
� new or gently used blankets or throws
� new socks and undergarments
Please put donations in the box in the church office area. Collection
will continue until November 3.
Questions? Please contact Lynnette at our church, 835.8935, or
Midland Area Homes, 496.9550.
Art of Sharing
When joining the church, we promise to uphold the church with
our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service and our witness.
All of us offer gifts in the abundant talents God has given us.
The Art of Sharing committee would like to celebrate those gifts between services on November 15 in Fellowship Hall as we
illustrate the theme: "Glorify God with your Talents." May the
artwork inspire you to dig deeper, seeing the gifts each of you
offers in the talents you share with others.
The FUMC staff would like to thank
all those who volunteered their time
to help at the UMW Fall Rummage
Sale. There is an enormous amount
of work involved, including but not
limited to, set-up, moving goods to
the basement, sorting, pricing,
breaking boxes down, and clean-
up. Our missions are truly blessed to
have you on their side!

Sr. High Roll Bake Our first Sr. High Roll Bake of the fall will take place
on November 14. Please note that there will be 3

Roll Bakes go to support the Sr. High United
Methodist Youth Fellowship and our Spring Break
Mission Trip.
Both types of rolls can be donated to Hidden Harvest – a food rescue
and distribution agency here in the Great Lakes Bay Region! So, if you
would like to support the youth, but would rather not have the rolls
yourselves, consider donating them to Hidden Harvest. The Sr. High
youth will receive the proceeds, while Hidden Harvest and those they
help are given fresh rolls. (All donations of rolls to Hidden Harvest must
be prepaid.)
The cost is $3.50 for plain, and $4.00 for cinnamon.
You can place your order or donation of rolls to Hidden Harvest by: • Contacting your favorite Sr. High youth.
• Filling out a yellow pew card (for personal orders) and putting it in
the offering plate or dropping it off in the office with Attn: John
Engler.
• Filling out a white pew envelope (for donation of rolls to Hidden
Harvest) and putting it in the offering plate or dropping them off in
the church office. • Calling the Church Office, 835.6797.
Order deadline is Sunday, November 8, so don’t delay. As always, we
appreciate your support of our youth and our Sr. High UMYF. Mark your
calendars for our next roll bake, December 12, with an order deadline
of December 6.

and you gave me
something to eat,…”

You’re Invited Special Stephen Ministers Meeting
Tuesday, November 10 | 7:00 pm | Little Theater
Stephen Ministers are opening their November meeting to the
congregation. Yolanda Miller and Mary Shaughnessy will be talking
about caring for, talking to, and supporting a loved one who is in the
last month of life. Yolanda works for The Toni and Trish House and Mary
is a long time volunteer there.
Start Your Advent Season with “Faith”
Mark your calendar for Sunday, November 29 at 6:00 pm, when Rev.
Faith Fowler and The Ambassadors from Cass UMC and Cass
Community Services in Detroit join us for a special worship service.
The Ambassadors are a group of formerly homeless men from Cass
Community Social Services who not only bring their talented voices to a
variety of audiences, but also their stories of recovery.
Quoting Detroit’s Mitch Albom, “Rev. Fowler is the most important
currency of our city, a loving, egoless, inspiring leader who doesn't see
color, doesn't see class, who looks at our poorest, most neglected
citizens and sees only hope and opportunity.”

Every Sunday morning you will find people of this
church praying in the Chapel from 8:15 to 8:45 am before the
start of the first morning service. We pray for our pastors, each
of you, and for God’s presence to be active in Sunday
worship. Would you come and pray with us?
B eing a Stephen Minister is a
chance to help other people, to
walk with them during their times of
need, and to be a witness to God
at work in their lives. Stephen
Ministers are the care givers and
God is the cure giver. We invite you to join us in this wonderful ministry.
The next class to become a Stephen Minister starts in January.
Applications are available in the Plexiglass holder across from the
reception desk. Please return completed applications by November 9.
If you or anyone you know is in need of a Stephen Minister, please call
Jo Winchester, 631.0122, Terry Townley, 835.7564, Diane Merrick,
631.8854, or Rev. Yum, 835.6797.
Prayer Shawl Ministry
The Prayer Shawl Ministry makes shawls and lap robes
which offer comfort to receivers. They symbolize
caring and peace to those in pain, grief, isolation or
illness, and also, joy and delight to those experiencing
new beginnings. Often these are given by our
ministerial and visitation staff but they are available for
anyone to give.
Stop in the church office to select a shawl to share
with a friend, church member, or anyone else in need
of comfort. Help them feel surrounded by the
presence of God and the knowledge that they are
not alone in their journey.
New members are always welcome to join this outreach ministry in
creating prayer shawls. The next meeting will be Thursday, Nov. 5 at
12:15 pm in the Hearth Room.
