PRELUDE
WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS
RECEIVING THE LIGHT
GATHERING WORDS
This is a holy day set apart for Sabbath
We pause
Breaking from the ordinary rhythm of life and resting from restlessness
We gather
Setting aside selfishness for kinship
We learn
Pondering God’s intentions with engaged minds and malleable hearts
We worship
Honoring God not only with our voice but with our faithful response
This is a holy day set apart for Sabbath
*SONG OF FAITH
Vs. 1
Chorus
“They’ll Know We Are Christians by Our Love”
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord,
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord,
And we pray that all unity may one day be restored:
And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love;
Yes, they’ll know we are Christians by our love.
Vs. 2
We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand,
We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand,
and together we’ll spread the news that God is in our land:
(Chorus)
Vs. 3
We will work with each other, we will work side by side,
We will work with each other, we will work side by side,
And we’ll guard human dignity and save human pride:
(Chorus)
Vs. 4
All praise to the Father, from Whom all things come,
And all praise to Christ Jesus, God’s only Son,
And all praise to the Spirit, Who makes us one:
(Chorus)
*SERVANT’S PRAYER
Lord of the Universe, Master of all, look in love upon Your people. Pour the
healing oil of Your compassion on a world that is wounded and dying. Send us
out in search of the lost, to comfort the afflicted, to bind up the broken, to free
those trapped under the rubble of their fallen dreams. In Christ, we pray.
Amen.
*RESPONSE
“Make Me a Servant”
Make me a servant humble and meek
Lord let me lift up those who are weak
And may the prayer of my heart always be
Make me a servant, make me a servant
Make me a servant today

*RESPONSE
“What a Mighty God We Serve”
*DEDICATING OUR GIFTS
Loving God, we humbly dedicate these tithes and offerings to Your use. Like
the saints who have gone before us, we are comforted by the knowledge that
You will multiply these gifts. Allow this money to become a resource that lifts
the shadows of despair from the recesses of people’s lives. We recognize that
only You can restore faith to the faithless, hope to the hopeless, and love to the
loveless. May Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven! Amen. (I Thess. 3:9-13)

A BIG THANK YOU to the Siglers who arranged the Bonfire event and provided most of the
food. Also thanks to Jamie Snyder who brought the bales to sit on and to Russ Johnson for
organizing the pumpkin-carving contest. They were all terrific! All had a good time, including our
98-year-old guest.

LUNCH BUNCH NOTICE! Please note that the November Lunch Bunch will be meeting at an
earlier time: Tuesday, November 18, at 11:30 a.m. at the Pine Tree Barn on S.R. 226 near
Shreve. Carpool will leave Hawkins’ parking lot at 11:00 a.m.
SUPPER CLUBS are made up of groups of 6-8 individuals who agree to meet for dinner 3 times
over the winter months (January, February, March). You can meet at a restaurant or in homes,
whichever you choose. It’s a great way to get to know others in new ways. SIGN UP on the kiosk
in the Gallery, or call the Church office. (Signup deadline is Sunday, December 7.)
CHRISTIAN CHILDREN’S HOME OF OHIO has a Christmas luncheon scheduled in our Church
Fellowship Hall on Saturday, December 13. They are celebrating the season with their foster-care
families. They are asking Wayne Church if we would help them in 2 ways for this event:
1) Provide inexpensive centerpieces for approximately 15 tables for their luncheon.
2) Provide a few individuals or a small group to serve the food at the luncheon so that CCHO
staff can mix and mingle with their foster-care families.
If you can help in either way, please sign up on the kiosk in the Gallery. We need to let CCHO
know our intent ASAP.

AUTUMN HARVEST CRAFT & BAKE SALE
o
HARVEST SALE RAFFLE – Our Harvest Sale raffle has started. We have some wonderful items, so
stop by the table in the gallery and check them out. One ticket costs $1, but $5 will get you six
tickets. Just drop the tickets in the box next to the items you hope to win. Our raffle sales will run
through November 8, so you can still purchase them when you come to the Harvest Sale. We will
announce the winners on Sunday, Nov. 9.
o
HARVEST SALE LUNCHEON – Are you having a hard time trying to come up with an idea for a
donation to the Harvest Sale? Well, we have one for you! We are looking for donations for our
luncheon café. A list of food items needed is posted on the kiosk in the gallery. Please drop off your
contribution(s) in the kitchen between 10:00 and 7:00 on November 7. If you have any questions,
talk with Peg Hart, Ph. 330-466-5093, kampwegox2@yahoo.com.
o
AUTUMN HARVEST SALE CONTRIBUTIONS – We hope all of you are busy planning what you will
be bringing to the Harvest Sale. Your contributions can be dropped off in the Church Fellowship Hall
between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM on Friday, November 7. We are asking each person to determine
their own price for each item, so be sure to clearly mark the price on your item. If you are providing a
baked good or food, please include a list of ingredients to avoid complications for those people who
have food allergies.
o
ALL BAKERS are encouraged to consider what you might provide for the Craft & Bake sale November
8. Our baked goods have always been popular. Consider breads, rolls, pies, pastries, and other out-ofthe-ordinary baked goods, though all will be welcomed. If you plan to bring something, please sign
the paper on the kiosk in the gallery indicating what you are bringing so that we can provide a variety.
Preserves and other canned goods have also sold well. Providing a list of ingredients will be beneficial
to those with food allergies. Contact Ron Becker if you have questions: 330-345-7214,
