All Saints Sunday
NOVEMBER 2nd
On All Saints Sunday, we will remember the saints - those
faithful Christians who have gone before us, especially
those members of FUMC Taylor who have died in the past
year. At the lighting of a candle and the ringing of a bell
we will honor and remember the following persons: Rod
Hortenstine, Della A. Velau Borgne, Rose Lee Benad &
Norvin Parr. There will be one last candle and one last toll
of the bell for other friends and family members who have
died in the last year and who are in our thoughts on this
day. All of this will take place during the ritual of Holy
Communion.
Pastor Brenda

It's Time To Make A Few Decisions…

Christ, in new members, in service to children and youth, and
our community. Please pray to discern where God may be
leading you to make a difference! Your gifts and interest will
most likely match the area in which you feel called to
serve. That's how the Holy Spirit works!

Finance Committee (2 openings)
Board of Trustees (2 openings)

elsewhere, please talk to one of the Nominations Committee
