Dear Faith Family,

Our Gospel reading for Sun Nov 8 is from Matthew 25:1-13, where Jesus tells a parable about the wise and foolish bridesmaids.  He is describing his own his own second coming and emphasizing the need for us to be ready at all times.  We live in the days between Christ’s coming at his birth and his return, that longed-for day of hope and promises fulfilled. Just as the young women in the parable had to continue their daily living until the bridegroom returned (all of them, even the wise ones, went to sleep that night!), in all seasons we go about our lives faithfully, even as we wait with eager longing.

Jesus' parable calls us to consider how we are living as people prepared for the coming of Christ. How are we opening our daily lives to the possibilities that Christ will come among us at any moment? We are invited to live with eager expectation, watchful for the grace and love of God through Jesus Christ, which meets us when we least expect it.

On Sunday we will welcome our Faith Choir members, under the direction of Kaitlyn Konrardy, as they offer the anthem "To Sing Once More" by Craig Courtney.  In honor of Veteran's Day, we will recognize those in our congregation who have served in the military.  For our Sending Song, we will go forth with the words "We're marching to Zion" to live out our slogan, "Loved by God - Living for Others."
 
DOWN, IN, OUT:
During our worship service on Nov 8, we will introduce our Stewardship theme for the next three Sundays.  The practice of stewardship invites us to look in three different directions:
Down, In, and Out.  We begin by looking at how God has come
down
to us in Jesus Christ. We then look
in
-ward to discover all that God has entrusted to our care. We end by looking
out
-ward to understand the needs of our neighbors.  When we practice stewardship in this way we form a cross with our lives and through our faith, we are marked with the cross of Christ forever.

Can’t join us in person? We invite you to worship with us through our livestream on YouTube!

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
