Thank you A huge thank you to the Trustees and friends who came for Work/Beautification Day last Saturday.
While Robert Putnam painted, Dave, Larry, and Andrea cut tree limbs back, and Charlie hauled off 3
loads of debris. Kelly and Kevin tackled the parking lot flower beds, while inside, Donna, Vin, and
Nancy Putnam spruced up the Sunday school rooms. Faye continued to organize, dust, and clean
windows in the library. Pastor Odom came, and we gave him the job of cleaning his office and told
him not to come out until he had accomplished a 5 star rating! Norma and Nancy dusted and
rearranged furniture in the parlor, while Evelyn cleaned the temple room and hung new curtains.
This project is ongoing twice a year in the spring and fall. We are fortunate to have such great servant
leaders to lend a hand in the maintenance of our church. Praise be to God!
Something New You may have noticed the resource room is under renovation. The parking lot side will be used as a
shared teacher area. Our Sunday school teachers and the German ISD teachers will have a place to
plan their lessons and store supplies. The other side of the room will continue to provide storage for
our other church needs. We hope to get our side repainted and better organized in the near future.
Thanks for your patience during this transition.
Reminder! Just a reminder to put the kitchen carts back if you use them. They are used by many members to
transport items from one side of the building to the other or to unload things from their cars. We ask
that you not load them up and park them in a room. They are to be used as “temporary” carts and
they are to be placed in the kitchen when not in service. Thanks for your cooperation!

The fundraiser will be at the Potbelly on Midway on Sunday, Nov. 5th from 2-5pm. Mention the fundraiser, and help send the team out to be a light for others. For more information contact Meredith Moore. See everyone there!
The Circle Maker
This Sunday we will be finishing our sermon series, Lessons from The Circle Maker. This series has pushed us to take our prayers and grow them bigger. Prayer has always been integral to our lives as Christians and our life as the Church. Together, we are called to Dream Big, Pray Hard, and Think Long about our prayers to God. During this series, we have been doing that together as the church. We started this series by learning about the Legend of the Circle Maker, Honi, and have journeyed to understand that we must have big dreams in order for God to fulfill those “impossible” prayers that each of us have. This final Sunday, we will begin to Think Long about our prayers, and how we should never give them up, even if it seems like there is no hope left. God has been and always is our hope for new life and for accomplishing our impossibly, large dreams. Let us continue to pray circles around our lives and our community as the church, even after this sermon series is finished.
5th Sunday Breakfast This Sunday is also our 5th Sunday breakfast and program! We hope that you will join us as the UMM prepare breakfast and Pastor Odom leads a program that will provide the solution to the riddle: “What starts in Amsterdam, is .8 miles long, and ends at Chapel Hill Church?” We hope to see you there with your best guess to the riddle!
Emergency Response Training
When Hurricane Harvey hit, many of you asked what we
could do. You collected money to send in support and
continued to pray about those affected by the hurricane. We
are going to be taking our next step by hosting an
Emergency Response Training here on October 28th starting
at 8:30 am. UMCOR also trains Early Response Teams,
which are then deployed by United Methodist Volunteers in
Mission (UMVIM) in times of need. These training programs
and many more enable United Methodists in the U.S. to bring
hope to those who are suffering. We will be trained to
continue helping with the rebuilding and cleanup of the Gulf
Coast. We hope that you can make it!
Information on the training can be found on the table in the
narthex.
Communion Offering: Holiday Baskets
Next Sunday’s communion offering is for the Metrocrest
Services Holiday Basket Project that will benefit our
community’s neediest senior citizens. The holiday baskets
provide welcome necessities like food and personal care
items for those struggling with financial issues, as well as
niceties that lift the spirit of those who have no family with
which to share this special time of year. Our donations will
buy items for the gift baskets and grocery or pharmacy gift
cards. All basket recipients are very thankful for our
generosity and for the delivery that relieves the loneliness
they may be experiencing. Talk to someone on the Outreach
Committee if you would like to help make deliveries.
We are still receiving donations for our MOP, The Bridge.
