Saints Peter & Paul Food Pantry Needs Our Support

Dear Church Members,


We have an urgent call to action from the Saints Peter & Paul Food Pantry. They urgently need donations to support their efforts in providing food for the homeless individuals temporarily housed in Hamburg, along with the assistance of St. Luke’s Mission of Mercy.


We kindly request you to bring non-perishable food items and other essential supplies to the church this Sunday and for the upcoming weeks. These items will greatly benefit those in need, especially those currently residing in hotels.


Suggested Donations:

  • Peanut butter and jelly

  • Pasta sauce

  • Canned soup

  • Instant soup

  • Canned ravioli

  • Cereal

  • Canned fruit

  • Non-frozen meals

  • Paper products (plates, bowls, cups)

  • Toiletries (toilet paper, soap, toothbrush)

  • Winter outerwear (hats and gloves)

  • Monetary donations for items they do not have


Monetary donations can also be made to the following addresses:

  • Saints Peter & Paul Church Memo: Outreach 36 Pine St. Hamburg, NY 14075

  • St. Luke’s Mission of Mercy P.O. Box 448 Buffalo, NY 14215

  • FeedMore of WNY P.O. Box 5163 Buffalo, NY 14240-5163

Let us unite as a community to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. Your generous contributions will help provide essential support and nourishment during this critical time.


Thank you for your continued support and generosity.


In service,


Missions/Outreach Committee

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.)


If you have any questions, please let me know. by email or call 716-713-9548. Thank you so much. Rose

Adult Sunday School


John Meader’s Adult Sunday School class is meeting each Sunday at 9am in the

Parlor. Presently we are using Max Lucado’s book, Help is Here, and the

accompanying DVD to learn more about the Holy Spirit. All are welcome!

 



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
