update Sat Oct 27
This Sunday October 27 our theme is "The Tricksters" and the main passage is Genesis 27 (but there will be reference to a host of other passages from our Judeo-Christian originating narrative that have tricks and deceit at their core.)
15-17 Rebekah took the dress-up clothes of her older son Esau and put them on her younger son Jacob. She took the goatskins and covered his hands and the smooth nape of his neck. Then she placed the hearty meal she had fixed and fresh bread she'd baked into the hands of her son Jacob.
Small groups leaders meet on Sat Nov 3 at 11:30 am in the parlor. These meetings are vital for our small group ministry.
We need additional volunteers in the nursery for the 9:30 am service. Please contact office@fairlawnwest.org . If we talk about the children as being important to our faith community, we need to put our bodies where are our mouths are.
The Interfaith Hospitality Network annual meeting is Mon Nov 5 at 6:30 pm. There is a meal and then a celebration of this mission which we are part of to help families who are homeless. It would be nice to have one table made up of folks from Fairlawn West. Cost is $10 at Firestone Park United Methodist Church. Contact deloar@yahoo.com to make a reservation. David Loar is president of the IHN Board.
An introduction to Appreciative Inquiry will be on Tues Nov 6 in our sanctuary starting at 7 pm. This will be led by Bob Robinson of Vanguard Church in Canton. AI is an organization tool to review what are the gifts of the group and how to use them to be a more effective body.
At The Nervous Dog Coffee Bar 1530 West Market Street:
Sundays Sr Hi and Older Young Adults meet at 11:00 am for discussion.
David Loar is available on Fridays, 1:30-4:30 pm for conversation with anyone who drops in.
The Spaghetti Supper is Fri Nov 9th with seatings at 5:30 and 6:30. All the money raised supports the Williard Food Pantry which serves the 2nd largest group of hungry people served by the Akron-Canton Food Bank.
Tickets are being sold on Sundays and at the supper for the quilt made by the Sew 'N Sell Group with the money raised supporting our outreach ministry.
