Hello Sunday School Families!

We are continuing our "Inside Out"-inspired Sunday School year with a Bible Story this week that has a disgusting element: we'll be talking about 10 people with leprosy who are healed by Jesus.  (Spoiler alert: only *one* remembers to go back and say 'thank you'...)  This week, we are hoping to divide into smaller classrooms, based on age and turn out.  Parents and caring adults are welcome to travel with their kids into the classrooms, if that makes everyone feel more comfortable.  

Next week, (Oct. 20) we'll be keeping everybody all together for a Family Sunday School tradition: Pumpkin Sunday!  As a family, you'll be able to decorate a pumpkin together.  But, these pumpkins are not Halloween pumpkins: our hope is that these pumpkins will serve as bright orange reminders to share what you are thankful for - every day - from now until Thanksgiving.  (That's 40 days of thanks, if you're counting...)

Finally, please mark your calendars for Sunday, October 27: that's our big Reverse Trick or Treat during worship!   Yes, you can wear your Halloween costumes to church (as long as they aren't too disgusting?)  We need your help!!!  Instead of collecting candy for ourselves, we'll be collecting cans for the Food Shelf.  The timing of this is amazing: we get to collect items most needed by CHUM to fill their annual Thanksgiving Boxes.  This year specifically, we are hoping to collect 350 cans of corn and 350 cans of green beans.  We'll make it a friendly little competition, but really everybody wins because all our donationations will end up on the Thanksgiving tables of families who really need it.  

So much to look forward to this month,

I hope to see you all soon,

Katie
