The weekend of October 31/Nov 1 is All Saints Weekend.
On this weekend during worship, we
remember and honor those who have gone before us
and are now in God’s heavenly kingdom. We will read the names of those Still Waters members who have passed away within the last year, as we light candles. We will also be given the opportunity for those who would like to, to light additional candles honoring and remembering all our loved ones who have gone before us, whether this last year or anytime. It is a wonderful weekend to remember the ways those who have gone before us have impacted us and made us who we are. If you’re worshipping online, feel free to get a one ore more candles ready at home, that you might light your own candle(s) there.

Grow with Abide
Informational Meeting
Sunday, November 1, at Noon
What could grow when we bring our gifts together? Abide, our gardening ministry rooted in John 15:5, invites you to help imagine an inclusive garden space on the Still Waters property—a place to grow, share knowledge, enjoy nature, and build friendships across generations.
Join us to learn more about how we’ll design and develop this space together. Whether you enjoy gardening, building, cooking, art, or simply spending time outdoors, there’s room for your ideas. No gardening experience needed! Sign up on your connection card or website if you’d like to attend the informational meeting, or even if you’re interested in the ministry but not able to come to this initial meeting. Contact Lisa at
swym2019@gmail.com with questions.

Jesus said, “Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit.”
—John 15:5, NRSV
Small Group Study
Wouldn’t it be great if we could hear God’s voice? People often come to me and say, “I wish God would just give some clear, concise directions. We want to know what God wants us to do, who we’re to be, and what we’re to say. In November, we will embark on a short, 4-week study, which will take us to Advent!
