Pasta sauce
Canned soup
Instant soup

Canned fruit
Non-frozen meals
Paper products (plates, bowls, cups)
Toiletries (toilet paper, soap, toothbrush)

Helpers and Shoppers are Needed
For our Homespun Holiday Bazaar
The annual, much-anticipated Homespun Holiday Bazaar is Friday, Nov.3 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Crafts, crochet, knit and sewn items, Granny's Attic, baked goods, community vendors, the large book sale and the return of the takeout lunch are all on the agenda for your shopping delight!
Proceeds will benefit ministries supporting women and children here and across the world, as well as Hamburg UMC.
Before we shop, though, we need to prepare and so:
- We want to remind you that we need donations of high-quality, clean garage sale items for Granny's Attic, as well as gently used books for the book sale.
-There are sign-up sheets for helping out on the counter in the Gathering Area. Here are specifically when help is needed:
Sunday, Oct. 29 (after the service) to help move items in preparation for bazaar setup.
During the week of the bazaar, help will be needed with table setup and other tasks:
Wednesday, Nov. 1 - 6:30 p.m.
Thursday, Nov. 2 - 6:30 p.m.
Sunday, Nov. 5 (11:45 a.m.) - Break down and cleanup crew!
Get Your Pre-Sale Takeout Lunch Tickets
Now on sale starting Oct. 8 are the "hot pre-sale" tickets of the Bazaar: Soup and Dessert tickets. We will be selling the tickets after worship service through Oct. 22.
For just $8 you will receive soup/chili of your choice, crackers, and dessert (pie or cake). The choices are Ed's famous chicken noodle, Rick's famous beef vegetable, and Paul's famous chili.
You can pick up your takeout meal during the hours of the Bazaar on either day.
A successful pre-sale will help us plan best! (But the meals will be available for purchase during the bazaar, too.)

Our little pantry at Sparks of Hope is nearly empty, and our shelves are bare. Members of our recovery community rely on your generosity to see them through the hard times. Please drop off nonperishable groceries when Sparks is open, or leave them inside the pantry.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
CALL TO WORSHIP
Before the Himalayan peaks, earth’s eternal snows were born – you are God
Jaya Masih!
You imagined the color green and let it bleed into Eden’s first grass
Jaya Masih!
It is your very breath with which we sing to you in joy
Jaya Masih!
OPENING MUSIC: “How Great Thou Art” #77 UMH MOMENT FOR REFLECTION
You sweep people away in the sleep of death
They are like the new grass in the morning
By evening it is dry and withered Most all of us have tasted the ache of loss
Take this moment to bring yours before the Lord
OPENING PRAYER Almighty God, tender Father
Draw close as this new morning breaks all around
We long for your touch
Sin, doubt, and worry cling to our being
Breathe on us your breath of life
As a breeze carries away stubborn dust
Yours is the sunlight, yours is the morning
Fill us with more and more of your radiance
