Parish Book Club Update: Our next book is "All Good People Here" by Ashley Flowers. The book concerns a small town in the MidWest and asks the questions, What are your neighbors capable of when they think no one is watching? And everyone seems to be hiding something. Could the killer still be out there? A mystery that looks interesting and calls us to think about judging people. Our next meeting will be Wednesday November 14th at 11am in the Parish Library. Please join us. If you have questions or concerns contact Deacon Owen in the Parish Office at ext. 110.
November Social: Our next social will be the weekend of November 16th & 17th. We will have a planning meeting on Tuesday, October 29th at 1pm. If you can not make the planning meeting and would like to be involved, contact Victoria Wagner at ext. 116

Guess what’s Back? Soup Fest! Mark your calendars for Tuesday, November 12! Soup is needed… Set up Help is needed…. Clean up Help is Needed…. Refilling crock pots is Needed….
Another successful Fall Festival is in the books. The weather was great, and everyone had a wonderful time eating and sharing conversation. So happy to have parishioners from St. Michael’s in Emlenton to join in for the festivities. Kiddos were busy with crafts and going into the photo booth. We did notice quite a few adults jumping in the booth. Thank you to everyone that helped set up on Friday and Sunday morning, serving food, crafts, kitchen duty and clean-up. Without all your help, we never would have been able to have a successful event. Shout out to: Cindy Morrison Catering for the food, Neina Morocco, Photo Booth from Hermitage for lots of laughs in the photo booth.
