Flu Clinic Sunday October 16th
We will hold our annual Flu Vaccine Clinic on Sunday, October 16th from 11:15 am until 1 pm, in the church office. I'm attaching a flyer with more information, which also includes a QR code for those who can register online. Or, you can use this link: https://opensched.mychartplus.org/opensched/openscheduling/standalone?id=1172567&dept=106004001&vt=4829
In the registration you'll see 3 appointment times. No matter which one you choose, you can actually come any time between 11:15am- 1pm!
Of course, if you don't feel comfortable with the online registration process, you can just fill out the usual paper form.
Hope to see you there!

Our Pumpkin Festival is just weeks away, and of course that means our Annual Silent Auction, always a popular event.
We are currently seeking donations for the auction, which is being held online. If you are able to secure a donation please contact me at grammy2drewski@yahoo.com, by phone 860 523-8017, or drop it off in the church office to my attention.
We have a number of beautiful handmade items from our Harvest Fair available to sell in the craft area. All of the items are priced, but we need a couple of folks to set up the tables, sell the merchandise, and pack up what hasn't sold at the end of the day. Why not grab a friend and spend the day enjoying the fellowship of the Pumpkin Festival and help us out by selling some of our beautiful handmade things.
In Christ's Service,
Joy Ferguson
