 “In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications ,” (Hebrews 5:7, NRSV).  We, too, have come to pray and ask for God’s help and guidance.  Let us unite our hearts as brothers and sisters before the Lord.  Everyone is sincerely welcomed.

Kid’s Pumpkin.  The pumpkin in the sanctuary is a declaration that Christ is the Lord of the harvest, but it is also a children’s game.  Each child is asked to guess the weight of the pumpkin and put their guess in the box in the narthex of the church.  The winner gets the pumpkin.
