Announcements and Calendar for the Week of Oct. 4

BAKE SALE REMINDER: Don't forget to sign up in the Great Room if you'll be making goodies for the bake sale to be held on the first day of the rummage sale Friday, October 9th, from 2p-5p. You may also call Jennifer John @ 974-3489 and let her know what you'll be making or drop an email to rj3j@charter.net. All donations should be clearly labeled and left in the kitchen downstairs prior to the sale. (It would be helpful to note if there are nuts in any of the baked goods as this is a frequently asked question.) Don't worry about amounts. Volunteers will sort and package items with festive ribbons. Not sure what to bake? Brownies, cookies, cupcakes with seasonal sprinkles, apple or pumpkin pie, tea breads, cakes, muffins...you name it! Anything that evokes the flavors and aromas associated with autumn! Those youth in grades 5-12 who wish to help out at this event should contact Jennifer John. Remember, this is a way for the youth to help Women's Fellowship!

The October Outreach project for Youth Group is ministry to the homeless through the Worcester Fellowship. We will be collecting new white athletic socks for men and women up until October 11. You may leave donations in the collection box in the great room. Youth in grades 8 -12 who would like to participate should speak to Debby Kirk today. We will meet here at East next Sunday at 10 am to make sandwiches and then drive to Worcester to share worship and a meal with the homeless. Check the website www.worcesterfellowship.org for more information.

ARACHNOPHOBIA!!! All youth in grades 5-12 are invited for fall fun on Sunday, October 18. We’’ll find our way through the Pomfret Corn Maze and enjoy a cookout after. Speak to Jen John or Debby Kirk to reserve your spot. Cost is $5 per person and friends are welcome. Meet here at the Hill Church at 3:30 PM and plan to get picked up at 7:30 PM.
