Next Saturday, October 2 at 10:30 a.m., come and join our friends at St. Mary’s for their annual Blessing of the Animals. Bring your family pet be it a dog, cat, horse, hamster, or parrot. Fr. Dick Weissert will be happy to bless them all. Please note: Dogs on leashes… and anything squiggly, please put in a cage! St. Mary’s Episcopal Church is located just north of our location.

The worship planning team has done its job setting the pace for our upcoming worship experiences. In the month of October all sermon scriptures are taken from the Gospel of Luke and it might be a good idea to take some personal time and read through this book which can easily be done in a month. All the Sermon titles begin on the word “Just…” and will focus on both Justice and Simplification. In the month of November every Sunday is unique: Friend-Raising Sunday (11/7), Stewardship Sunday (11/14) and Thanksgiving Sunday (11/21) finish up the Liturgical Year. Welcome back!

It is time to replenish your supply of nuts for holiday baking and gift giving. PCC’s fall fund raiser is in full swing. Pre orders are being taken for pecans, pistachios, cashews, almonds, walnuts and more. Prices range from $6.50 to $10.00 for one pound zip locked bags. A sign up sheet is on the bulletin board at church or you can call the church office at 801-375-9115 to order. All orders should be in by Sept. 26.

Daisy Girl Scout troop 2348 is excited to be welcomed as a part of the PCC community! We are a new troop this year, currently with 6 kindergarten and first grade girls from 5 different Provo schools. The troop is run by leaders Alyssa Uffenorde (a 12th year girl scout who also serves as the Service Unit Cookie Manager) and Diana Allen (a committed mom who is jumping into her first year in Girl Scouts with both feet). We are thrilled to be able to be with these girls as they grow in confidence and character through all Girl Scouts has to offer. To officially recognize the girls as members of Girl Scouts, and to celebrate them taking on the Girl Scout promise, we are holding an investiture ceremony Thursday September 23rd at 7pm at the church. All are welcome!

Listen to today’s sermon by the Rev. Daniel Haas titled “Women’s Lib” based on 1 Timothy 2:1-15.

This Sunday evening, September 19, at 6:30 there will be the Habitat Annual Day of Prayer. This will start at 6:30 at our church. Please plan to attend this event.
The International Day of Prayer and Action for Human Habitat, observed on the third Sunday in September, is a time when the entire Habitat for Humanity community is urged to come together in prayer for those in need of shelter. Through prayer, Habitat for Humanity continues to make a dramatic difference in the lives of people around the world. Many volunteers are drawn to this ministry after hearing God’s call and seeking God’s guidance through prayer. Other prayers are answered when families and communities grow in the shelter of God’s grace. The hurdles of funding and building homes are overcome through the miracles of prayer.
