Hi Everyone!                                                                  November 7, 2024
As you might know I worked at the polls on Tuesday at the American Legion Building. I was honored to work with a fantastic team for a 14-hour day. Why do I do that? Because my mom did it and was proud of it.  We had almost 1,200 voters come to our precinct and it was a very busy day.  No matter our political views I think we can agree that Americans show up and that’s a good thing.
The United Methodist Men will meet for breakfast this Saturday at 9:00 at Erika’s Kitchen in Payette. All men are invited.
The Finance Committee will meet next Tuesday, November 12th at noon in the fellowship hall. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Next Thursday, November 14th the church office will be closed. Ron and I are taking a quick trip to the Grand Canyon. We haven’t seen it yet and think it’s a “must see”. The church will be unlocked most of the day because Lifeline Screening will be using our building. James agreed to let them in.

Glenora and her team are finalizing plans for the Winter Festival. Please let her know as soon as possible if you are willing to donate towards a basket or silent auction item. You can donate an actual item or money that Tami Wright will use to shop! We will need everyone’s help on Friday, December 6th. Please save the date and start inviting your friends!
We have prayer requests this week. Anne DeBord’s brother Don Keim passed away this week. He was 97 and by all accounts led a wonderful life. Anne asks that we pray for her family.
Kathie Phelps asked for us to pray for her sister Jackie.
Glenora’s daughter Tina is in need of prayers for an eye injury. She scratched her cornea when something got into her eye. Please pray for complete healing.
Kris Roberts who attended PUMC a few years ago and is good friends with our Bridge players had a fall and broke her hip. She had surgery on Wednesday. Pray for a quick recovery time for Kris.
Karen Sagehorn asked us to pray for EJ Bear and his family. His mother passed away and EJ asked for prayers. Also pray for Freddie and Ira. Ira will be moving back home on hospice care. His wife Freddie especially needs our prayers.
This Sunday is the first Sunday in Advent! I absolutely love this time of year. Please plan to attend church this week. Pastor Mary Beth will be leading our service with Danny’s help. We sure hope to see you here.
Advent is a time of waiting for our Lord, who will visit us in all our hearts. The Lord is coming! Let us wait for Him.
Blessings,
Cris
