Announcements

Worship leaders needed
I am looking for people who are willing to participate in our Sunday worship services either in leading a children’s sermon or serving as liturgist/scripture reader. If you are willing or feel led to serve in either of these ways, please contact Amy Herrin.

The Good News is Green!
Do you have a sustainable faith that is practiced in a sustainable community that honors everything God has made so that it is, indeed, very good? How can your congregation connect spiritual health and creation care that results in action? On Saturday, November 14, from 9:00am to 1:00pm at Belmont United Methodist Church, youth and adult leaders and pastors from the TN Conference congregations will gather to share information with your about how to start a Green Team at your church. Jim Deming, a local pastor and experienced leader in environmental stewardship, will lead the discussions on connecting faith and values with creation care. Tayst restaurant, Nashville’s only green certified restaurant will be serving lunch. For reservations to this event, please reply to ltaylor@tnumc.org or call the Nashville District office at 615-327-3582.

Donations of Coats/Sweaters needed!
During the month of November, the UMW are asking for donations of "gently used" coats/sweaters for Community Care Fellowship, a ministry of The United Methodist Church.  They are also collecting reading glasses.  CCF provides the homeless and nearly homeless a safe place during the day, and gives them the necessary things we take for granted...shoes, clothing, showers, laundry facilities, as well as food and friendship. UMW will be collecting the pants in a box located in the foyer through the month of November. During a church service at the end of the month, we'll be praying that these clothes will help someone in need.   Thank you for your support of our mission projects. www.ccf-ministry.org  

Volleyball signups are in the hall on the bulletin board. Games are on Saturday evenings.

Pavilion Apple Tree is located in the hall. Please help by picking an apple and purchasing the needed materials. Thanks for your support!

PVUMC choir
The choir is beginning practice for Christmas, so please join us on Sunday nights at 5:00. The ability to read music is not required, and there is no age limit. What the choir offers is a place to express the joy of music and fellowship with others who enjoy it.

Free Blood Pressure Screening
On the second Sunday of every month there will be a free screening from 9:30 to 10:45 AM (during Sunday School time).  (Due to a conflict, in October only the screening will be on the first Sunday, Oct. 4).  For more information or to schedule a time, contact Karen Brady.  You are also welcome to ask Karen health questions. 

FUEL Program  What is the FUEL program?
Our Fuel Program is ready to kick off for the 2009-2010 school year. We need your support. If you feel led to feel a child for the entire year the cost is $150. We also welcome any monetary or food donations (Pop Tarts, Juice Boxes, Tuna Pouches, and Apple Sauce Cups). If you would like more information please contact Daina Hunter at 746-3432. The first bagging will be held on August 4 @ 6:00pm. We could use your help preparing the bags.

Prayer Shawl Ministry meets on Saturday from 9 to noon in the Sunday School wing.  Come learn to knit, crochet or to refresh your talent, or to quilt or just to give moral support.  Yarn can be furnished if you notify Bonnie in advance.   Our little group is growing and we encourage those interested to come join the group.  Some folks like to create in the privacy of their home and that is fine...all prayer shawls are accepted, blessed, and given.
