Wayside Weekly
November 6-10
Wayside Friends,
As of the writing of this email (Friday morning), we are still awaiting the final results of the presidential race. I do hope you all are finding ways to keep your nerves calm and are able to find bits of joy and happiness throughout your day.
As always, if you have anything you would like to add to the weekly email, please contact Robbie in the Church Office (office@waysideucc.org). This includes prayers and Thank You's. The deadline for each week's email is Tuesday morning.
~ Robbie

Reminders
- Our own Rev. Bill Kirlin-Hackett has just published a book! "The Stones Would Shout: Homelessness and Place and Faith" is now available on Amazon in either a Kindle version ($12) or paperback version ($16).
- If you would like to be given a Wayside Pen Pal, please email Pastor Allysa and she'll send you the name and address of someone else in the church directory. All you need to do is send them a note saying Hi and that you've been paired as Wayside Pen Pals.
- Wayside's Council meets this Sunday at 6:30pm, via Zoom. If you would like attend the meeting, please contact Kim Larsen for the Zoom link info.
- We're still in need of a Vice Moderator. If you're interested in filling this vitally important position, please contact Kim Larsen, Pastor Allysa, or Robbie in the Church Office.
- Kim Larsen will be baking and selling her pumpkin pies again this year! They'll cost $12, with all the proceeds going to Wayside and will be available for pick up outside the church on Sunday, November 22nd. For more information or to order a pie, please contact Kim.

Joys & Concerns
- Continued prayers for the United States as politics continue to divide us. Prayers of hope that we can heal those divides.
Only prayers requested out-loud during our worship services or emailed to the Church Office will be included in the weekly email. Any prayers written in Zoom comments or on Facebook will NOT be included.

Gratitudes
- If you see Moses talking to bushes on the church property when you drive by it's because we now have two burning bushes! I wasn't here when they were planted but I believe thanks can be given to Sue Huff and Nancy & Ray Krueger. Thank you!!
