MULBERRY STREET UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
November 4, 2018
www.mulberrymethodist.org
This coming Sunday, November 4, is All Saints Day, a special day in the life of this and many protestant churches around the world. On this day, we celebrate and remember those “saints” in our church family who have finished their earthly journey during the past year. The saints listed below are special to us, to their families and friends. As you look over the list, you’ll remember them for the impact they had on you, on others and on this church. If one of these is your loved one, you can count on the rest of us to stand with you, to love you and to thank God with you for your “saint” as we worship together this Sunday. We hope you all will join us for worship at 9:00 am (chapel) or 11:00 am (sanctuary). We pray that we will be renewed, strengthened and encouraged by the music, liturgy and message of hope as we remember these dear saints.

All Saints’ Surprise for Children’s Church
Parents, please make sure your 4K/5K kids
are in worship at 11:00 am on November 4
because we have a special Children’s
Church planned for All Saints’ Day. It’s a
surprise for them (shh!!!), but when the
kids exit worship we’ll begin a walking
tour inside the church to hear about
Mulberry’s very own saints. Many thanks
to Carolyn Dominy, Church Historian, for
sharing fascinating information to mark
this occasion; 1st and 2nd graders (“big
kids”) are welcome, too!
To Leslie Walton and family upon the death
of her husband, Eugene “Buzz” Walton of
Helena, MT on Sunday, October 21, 2018.

Hurricane Michael Response Many residents of the Florida Panhandle, and Southwest Georgia are reeling, their homes and communities damaged by Hurricane Michael. As we continue to pray for those affected by this storm, here’s what you need to know now:
Financial Donations Monetary gifts will be extremely important as we respond to the affected areas. There are several ways to make a donation for disaster response relief. To aid with disasters within those Annual Conferences affected by Michael, your financial gifts can be made through your local church’s offering or by sending a financial gift through the Conference Teasurer’s Office earmarked Advance Special #6796 – South Georgia Storm Recovery. The address is PO Box 13145, Macon, GA 31208.
Cleaning Kits UMCOR cleaning kits (flood buckets) will be needed in the weeks and months ahead. Instructions can be found at www.umcor.org. There are several drop-off locations throughout the conference through the end of October.
Washing Machine Needed We have a need in the church for a washing machine.
If you have one that you could donate, please contact the church office, 745-8601.
