THIS WEEK

Dear friends,

It’s so nice to be back in the office and seeing some of your lovely faces over the past two days. Of course, I have been thinking about all of you throughout this past week.

Tomorrow (Friday), you are invited to a dinner prepared by Nancy Ladd. Nancy shares, “Come, all who are weary and burdened, and you shall be restored with nourishment, compassion, and love! Join us for dinner on Friday night (Oct.20th) in Burlingame Hall from 5-7 p.m. All are welcome – this is the great 2 fishes and 5 loaves story action! On the menu is homemade chicken chili, grilled cheese sandwiches (if you prefer), cornbread sticks, green salad w/balsamic vinaigrette, fresh apple crisp, and filtered water. Bring a fun drink if you like. Love to you all!”

The good works of FCC Sonoma, in respect to the fires, are highlighted in the UCC website. You may read the article by clicking http://www.ucc.org/news_sonoma_congregation_offering_neighbors_welcome_home_after_wildfires_10182017

By Monday, October 23, please submit to me the names of those whom you would like to have read aloud at the Service of Remembrance that will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, October 29.

By noon on Tuesday, October 24, please submit to me your November Grapevine items. Thank you for your timeliness.

Postponed is the Newcomer’s dinner that was scheduled for October 29. It will be rescheduled for November. I’ll keep you posted as I learn more.

Voice mail is out in the office due to the fires. AT&T is working on the transformers and hope to have it resolved soon.
