November 10 is our final 2026 His Table service. There will be more information as the date gets closer.
Ministry Volunteer Opportunities
We would like to add to our list of Licensed Eucharistic Ministers (LEMs) and readers. If you are interested, please talk with Chas or a Vestry member.
The end of the year is fast approaching, and at the Annual Congressional Meeting in January we will be electing two new Vestry members to replace Renay Siebenschuh and Ellie Stryker, whose terms are ending. Please consider whether this could be a way for you to serve the church and let Chas know if you’re interested. If you would like more information about the duties of the Vestry, talk with one of the current voting members (Ellie, Renay, John Contoni, Pat Kruizenga, Gladys Aviles, or Kristin Brewer).
Please consider helping with the weekly cleaning. There is a sign up sheet in the coffee area that lists what needs to be cleaned each week. Right now, Kristin Brewer does it all, but she really could use help.

Sisters Book Club
S.I.S.T.E.R.S. Book Club October meeting will be Thursday, October 15. The book selection is Beartown by Fredrick Backman. It is “a powerful emotional novel about a declining remote forest town in Sweden where an obsessed community places all its hopes and identity on a youth hockey team.” The meeting will be at the Raven Cafe in Port Huron. The cafe is an Edgar Allan Poe-themed literary coffeehouse and restaurant located inside an historic Civil War-era building. Contact Jeanne Garwood if you’re interested in attending and car pooling.
The book club is also planning a day trip (date TBD) to the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids to view the Chihuly glass art exhibit. Let Jeanne Garwood know if you are interested in joining us.
