Roll Film!
Autumn is here and with cooler weather on the way, our church community will be once again be offering film
nights throughout the cold weather season. We will be using the Lottie Horn room which is equipped with
the new TV church members purchased. If you have an idea for a movie that would be inspiring and/or
entertaining, please let Mother Johanna, Tracy or Leslie know.
SUNDAY SCHOOL:
Our Church School year is going apace! We continue with lessons about Samuel and David. The children
continue to learn about the bible through creative projects, games and cooking. We are grateful for all who
signed up. However, we need more people to care for the itty-bitties and more people to teach the older
children. Please see Barbara Clark. Thank you to those who donated all the great paper, markers, crayons,
glue and glitter. Were in great shape.
HOLIDAY FAIR:
Your St. Dunstan's Holiday Fair Committee will gear up for the big event this month so we will be
resplendent in November 21. Many elements of the Fair are already in place, including format, advertising
plan, vendors, auction items, table leaders, luncheon plans and menu, and spatial layout.
The Holiday Fair Committee will host a creative crafts afternoon on Sunday, September 27 in the Lottie Horn
Room after coffee hour. A continuation of snacks and drinks will be provided! We will be making small tiled
tea trays for sale at the Fair in November. The project will involve creating your artistic color pattern for the
interior of the tray with ceramic tiles, adhesive and grout. All materials will be supplied. Please join us!

PRAYER REQUESTS:
As requested, Prayer Request Cards are now on hooks in the pews, as well as on the table at the back of the
nave.
ALTAR FLOWERS:
Have a special event, birthday, anniversary or graduation you wish to mark? The Altar Flower sign-up sheet
is located on the table in the Narthex. A new sign-up sheet was added for August through October.
COFFEE HOUR SIGN UP:
A Coffee Hour sign-up sheet is available on the ECW bulletin board for October-December services. Anyone
is welcome to host or co-host a coffee hour and the items offered to supplement coffee and juice can be as
simple or fancy as the host/hostess would like. It is always fun to buddy up and have someone host with you.
Please sign up if you are interested and ask Tracy, Leslie or Muffet for more information if needed.
IN OUR COMMUNITY:
Opportunity to Help Next Step
We are continuing to collect toiletries and personal care items for The Next Step, our community's domestic
violence center. We need a person from the parish to deliver these items when our collection basket is full at
the back of the church. If you are interested, please let Tracy Shaffer know.
Loaves And Fishes Needs Your Egg Cartons!
Please save and recycle your empty egg cartons and plastic shopping bags by bringing them to the church and
placing them in the "Little Red Wagon" or taking them directly to the Loaves and Fishes food pantry. Many
thanks!
