So, October is here with all its wonders. Fall foliage, Sunday, Monday, Thursday NFL games, the end of the golf season and a full schedule of church activities. For those of us who are pessimists - what does that point to…SNOW. Just kidding!!!! But more than that, activities at church: World Communion Sunday, Neighbors in Need Offering and Blessing of the Animals on October 7th, Supper and Study beginning October 10th (looking at Embracing the Prophets with Walter Brueggemann), All Boards Meeting on October 20th and The Art and Craft Show on November 3rd to name but a few.
What I want to share with you is a letter. It comes to us from Erin Luchenbill, who is our contact with Church World Service. As you know every year, we participate in the Crop Walk and we just participated in Blanket Sunday. Have you ever wondered, “Do these big organizations really care on a personal level? Do they really appreciate what the churches on a local level do?” Well, decide for yourself.

Hi Pastor Kurt!
I wanted to reach out with an exciting CROP Hunger Walk update: final results are in and it looks like Walks have raised over $8.3 million in the last twelve months! That’s amazing!
What is even more amazing is that kids are going to bed with food in their bellies ... because you walked for gardens. Whole communities have less to fear from diseases … because you walked for clean water. And people in your community feel like someone nearby cares … because you made sure you were walking for them, too. Thank you for your valuable and powerful leadership of this movement!
In peace,
Erin
Blessings,
