Happy Thanksgiving…
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
We have had a beautiful summer like week and last night’s rain was really needed. Now we will be returning to crisp fall days in time for Thanksgiving! We are grateful for this time of Thanksgiving for all of God’s goodness and love!
Hope all of you enjoy a Happy Thanksgiving with family and friends!
A book study will begin on October 18th for 4weeks with the morning session (at 10:30 am) at Knox 16 and an afternoon session (at 3:00 pm) at Hopedale. The book is “Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time: The Historical Jesus and the Heart of Contemporary Faith” by Marcus Borg. If there are others interested, you will need to contact Rev. Patrick Gushue at pastorknox16@gmail.com no later than October 11th. You need to buy the book yourself and you can order the book on Amazon. There is a pre-study exercise to complete about your journey of faith.
Both congregations will be involved in a Harvest Home Dinner at Hopedale on October 21st. Please be sure to sign up! There will be fun and food and good entertainment!
The Fall mission project is the Kerr Street Mission Adopt a Shelf (grocery shelf), which Knox 16 will be spearheading. We will be collecting 350 cans of baked beans and canned meat!!!
