Hi Everyone! October 24, 2024
Our annual Charge Conference went well. Our reports were well received and we had good discussions and heard good ideas from Rev. Dr. Rob Walters. It’s another charge conference in the books! At the short Ad Board meeting afterward, we chose the date for our annual Winter Festival. It will be on Friday, December 6th this year. Glenora will be in charge again and it will be great. We will need raffle baskets again so please let us know if you can put one together. This event takes everyone’s help so get fired up and let’s do this! We asked for candy for Trunk or Treat and you brought candy! Those kids will be so happy! Thank you so much for the donations. We will be good to go. Now we just need the cars to give it out. Please arrive by 4:30 on Halloween so we can get your cars parked and be ready for the trunk or treaters at 5:00. It will be fun! The November/December editions of The Upper Room are available in the entryway. If you need help getting one, please let me know. This will be the last Sunday to donate towards Tips for Mahlon. He’s the great guy who takes such good care of our lawn. The jar will be in the normal place. Cash is easiest. We had a decent size, loud group of supporters at the PHS football game there to support Kathryn, Caleb and Lizzy last Friday night. All three definitely knew we were there! As a bonus, the marching band was excellent and the football team won the game. (It probably had something to do with us.) A big thank you everyone! I have some good news this week. Brandon Baumler was hired by Idaho Power as a foreman! Excellent job Brandon; we are proud of you. Things are up in the air a bit for Danny in regards to the position he applied for as the liaison but he is definitely in the running. Pray that everything goes well in the rest of the process. We have some prayer requests this week. I received word that Bill Bommersbach passed away on Monday night. Bill owned and ran Payette Printing and was a great guy. His wife Karen attended church here and we considered them both to be part of our church family. Please pray for their kids Tara and Travis and their families. A celebration of life for Bill will be held at the Kiwanis Park Lodge in Payette this Saturday from 1-4 p.m. Kurtis Haren is near the end of his short life. Please pray for Kurtis and his whole family. This is a very hard time for them all. Deanna Carr is suffering with a back pain. Please keep her in your prayers. Dalyce Knight has two prayer requests. Her daughter Kristy was recently in the hospital with sepsis. She is healing and is now home. Please pray for a complete, quick recovery. Dalyce’s neighbor’s son has been diagnosed with leukemia and would appreciate our prayers. Danny Crego asked us to pray for a coworker. He doesn’t have details but God knows! Three of the exercise folks are in need of prayer. Joan had an anaphylactic reaction to something she ate and is hospitalized. She was very scared not being able to breathe. It sounds like she is safe now. Piper had to get a secondary mammogram and was scared but things look better for her too. The cysts proved to be benign. Amen to that! Karen Sagehorn is being stalked by a man who is very persistent. Karen is scared and rightfully so. The police have been notified. Please pray for Karen to be safe. This Sunday is All Saints Day at church. We will be remembering those who passed before us. It is a special ceremony. If you’d like a loved one’s name mentioned, please write the name on an index card, put in the basket and our pastor will read the name. If you’d like me to write the name, call me by Thursday at noon and I’ll be glad to do that. The cards will be available on Sunday before church too. Last Sunday, Dalyce was the liturgist and she read this: “Welcome to the place of love and grace; the place of hope and perseverance.” I just love that. And in the sermon our pastor reminded us that God sees us and loves us just as we are. Think about that for a minute because it is powerful. Blessings, Cris
