Walking the Grief Journey
Wednesday evenings (6pm—7:30pm) on October 2nd, 16th, 23rd, and 30th, Pastor Ryan will lead a, supportive, compassionate series for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one.
In this group, each will learn some of their own natural ways of coping with loss, as we seek together God’s strength and guidance on the journey.
The four-session class will culminate on All Saint’s Sunday (Nov. 3rd), when the whole congregation will remember the saints who have died in faith.
The class will meet in the Council Room.
We need cars for Trunk or Treat part of the Fall Festival!

ONE October Stewardship Events
Pledge cards will be blessed on Stewardship Sunday, October 20 during both worship services.
“Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back...and thanked him.”
Luke 17:11-19
Soon you will receive a Stewardship Packet in the mail. It will include a letter, pledge card, and a puzzle piece. Please be sure to read over the material and plan to spend some time discerning how you will give to First English Lutheran in 2020.
Pledge Card. Please prayerfully consider how God is calling you to support the mission of FELC. These pledges are crucial as FELC leaders create the 2020 budget.
Puzzle Piece. When you bring your pledge card, bring in your puzzle piece, too. There will be a table in the narthex throughout October, as we all piece together the puzzle.
Pledges help us piece together our financial plan for 2020; your contributions make our One Mission possible.
