United Church Holiday Project - One of our Advent missions is “Operation Christmas Child.” This project is part of Franklin Graham’s “Samaritan Purse” Ministry. Please take the time while you are shopping this Christmas season to give to a child. Our Sunday School classes are asking as many people as possible to make a box for a child. Small toys, jump ropes, books and ball caps are some items that could be put in the boxes. Items for the boxes may be placed in a special container in the Narthex. If you would rather pay the $7 shipping cost only, the kids will be collecting in the Narthex after each service. Boxes are due at the Church no later than November 9th. (Last year we mailed 16 boxes - we would like to double that if possible this year). Thank you for your support!

Gord and I were invited by Harold and Eleanor Schoonerman to go for a drive on Monday, to enjoy the gorgeous colors of the changing leaves. We traveled South on Route 21 absorbing the scenery and stopping for a shopping session. We had a late lunch at Bob and Ruth’s Restaurant in Naples, before heading home on the Hi-Tor Way.

The Marion Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts will be “Scouting for Food” on Saturday, November 1. Ken Adriaansen, Ed Blurn of Inlet, NY, Peter Adriaansen and his buddy from Cazenovia College are waiting the Guinness approval for breaking the World Record for the largest canoe/kayak raft to free float on a body of water on Fourth Lake near Arrowhead Park in Inlet, New York. On September 13th with 1104 canoe/kayaks in the water the last record was 776 of boats at Lake Hinckley, Ohio. The Central Adirondack Paddlers Society (CAPS) was involved to help raise money by registering for cancer. When the plane went over, everyone raised their paddles in unison and held hands upon the adjacent canoe/kayak to form a continuous chain of rafts. Details of the event will be posted on www.onesquaremileofhope.com
