The month of October brings many ways for the congregation and lay people of our church
to participate by leading in worship. This month, we will be having our Laity Sunday,
Children’s Sabbath, and Youth Sunday. Please stay tuned for more to come in regards to our
church and these exciting new worship experiences to come.
If you haven’t been in the worship celebration recently, you have one last chance with the
next part of this sermon series, Radical Hospitality: Opening the Door. Come to worship on
Sunday hear all about it!
Bishop Robert Schnase, in his book Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations, discusses five common
characteristics of healthy United Methodist congregations: Radical Hospitality, Passionate Worship,
Intentional Faith Development, Risk-taking Mission and Service, and Extravagant Generosity.
Since its introduction in 2007, the Five Practices have become widely quoted, mimicked and
implemented by numerous clergy and churches. A casual Google search for ‘radical hospitality’ will
find over 300 United Methodist churches who use the term in some fashion on the home page of their
church web sites. It is almost as if the term has become a defacto measurement metric for healthy
churches.
Webster defines the term hospitality as “generous and friendly treatment of visitors and guests.”
Certainly this is something we are all familiar with. However, when you add the adjective radical,
meaning “extreme; different from the usual or traditional,” the implications can be very dramatic. In this
three-part series, we will explore the notion of Radical Hospitality.

Children’s Sabbath
Matthew 22:37-38: Love the Lord your God with all your Heart,
Soul and Mind. This is our theme for Children’s Sabbath. The
children have been learning what this means. They have been
working hard learning songs and getting ready to lead the
congregation in worship in a couple weeks!
Christmas Program
The Rock n Praise Choir is working hard at learning their lines
for the performance in December. We are in need of an adult
Darth Vader mask/helmet. If you know someone, or if you
have a Darth Vader mask/Helmet that we can borrow for the
performance, that would be wonderful. Please contact Tiffany
Smith: [email protected] The Rock n Praise Choir
is designing the set, if you would like to help, come on Sunday
evenings at 5pm.
Message Experience
This year, Ms. Iris has graciously agreed to lead Message
Experience during worship. (THANK YOU SO MUCH, Ms. Iris)
Last week the children learned about turning your worries over
to God. We talked about how God provides us with enough
that we don’t have to worry and when we do we need to give
it to God. This past Sunday was World Communion Sunday.
Ms. Iris taught the children about World Communion.
Group Vocal Technique Class
There will be a Group Vocal Technique Class for our church
congregation on October 9th and 16th at 4-5:00 pm in the choir
room. In this two-hour group lesson, those with little or no formal
voice lesson experience will be able to learn the basics to have a
good, healthy singing technique. They will learn about vocal
anatomy, proper breathing and balanced tone, as well as vocal
registers and vocal health. This class is for anyone who would
simply like to improve their singing voice. If you have any question
about this class, please ask our Minister of Music, David Lee,
[email protected]. A sign-up sheet will be in the
sanctuary hallway for anyone interested.
