Beloved Friends,

               Are you, your friends or your family doing anything this Saturday from 10AM to 1PM? You’re not? Well, now you are! Join us for our second annual Gathering in Gratitude Community Fall Festival here on Memorial’s campus.

Not only is this a great time for your kids (bounce houses! Cotton candy! Games!), but this is a way for you to show your support for all of our mission partners. Follow the cute scarecrow stroll to each booth to learn about the work that Memorial engages in around the community and throughout the world. Last year was a wonderful event, and I know that this year’s will be just as fantastic.

               Additionally, if you have yet to sign up to volunteer and would still like to do so please arrive on Saturday wearing your Love Shows Up shirt, and we will find a place for you to serve. If you need a shirt, we can also provide you with one.

The weather is supposed to be beautiful and crisp, as fall-like as you can ask for in Fernandina. I’m looking forward to seeing you there and hearing from all of our mission partners about all of the wonderful work they are doing in this community and the world. See you Saturday!

Grace and Peace,

Pastor Rachel
