A BIG OPELSKE THANK YOU

Here's a big THANK YOU to all the Opelske volunteers who have been wrangling the leaves, nuts, and falling branches these past few weeks -- and to the ones who have volunteered to keep the grounds safe and looking good as we finish this leaf season! Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

TIME CHANGE


OK, time doesn't OFFICIALLY change until the wee hours of the morning, but most of us are already sound asleep, so ...


IF you use an alarm clock, be sure to set your clock BACK one hour before you go to bed!!


IF you use an android or iphone to wake, you are probably ok (though you might want to check your settings!)

SUNDAY - 11/2


SERVICE (10 AM)

This Sunday, Brenda Smith and Margie Swint team up once again, blending storytelling and music. In "That One Person," Brenda reminisces about "Ma Skinner" - that "one person" who made a difference in her life - as Margie echos the story in song.


While you are there, please note, the newest Daily Word is now available on the shelves by the front door.

Bring your favorite shareable dish and a notecard listing basic ingredients to help folks make healthy choices.


DRUM CIRCLE (6-8 PM)

Whether you like to beat a drum, shake a rattle, or just tap your toes, this is an evening of all-out fun. If you have a drum, bring it. If not, we have plenty of drums and other percussion instruments available for your use. See you Sunday!

LAST SUNDAY

This past Sunday we sang along with Joyce Oliver and contemplated Kim May's message "Feel First, Take Action Second."

Kim's message is available online along with Marie Dunkle's message from last week, "Oh the Lies We Tell Ourselves.

MISSING SOMETHING ?

These are the two most recent items left at the chapel. If they are yours, you'll find them on the counter at the back of the chapel.
