Immediately following worship we will hold a congregational meeting for the purposes of electing officers, revision of Pastor's package, and Endowment committee considerations.

Pastor Jon recently made a pilgrimage to Turkey. He invites you to come share his experience through pictures. He will give a short presentation following worship on Sunday, November 3, in the sanctuary. 

The Fellowship team wants to celebrate Thanksgiving dinner this year by offering it at our church for any of our church family who may not be able to be with loved ones. We plan to gather at noon in the Fellowship Hall. A family has offered to provide fried turkey, and we are asking that each household bring a dish to share. Suggested items are:

Dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casseroles, vegetables, salads, rolls, cornbread, deviled eggs, pies, cakes, other desserts, other traditional Thanksgiving foods that you enjoy.

Please contact Cathy Steve by email here, or call (904) 312-1539 if you are interested in participating, advising what you plan to bring so there will be a good variety of foods. 

From Tradition to Tomorrow: Why does the Church matter in 2024 and beyond? What makes the Church unique?

SOAP (South Atlantic and Puerto Rico Region of APCE) is offering a webinar where Brittany Porch, CCE, will explore these questions with us.

This is a great opportunity for all our ministry volunteers to gain new insights that can help us grow our educational ministries here at Hodges.

This two-part event begins with Part 1 on Saturday, November 9, from 9 AM to 12 PM in the Fellowship Hall, followed by Part 2 on Monday, November 18, from 7 PM to 8 PM. The second session will include a discussion with Brittany via Zoom in the Sonrise Room.

JoAnne needs to know in advance who will be attending, so please email at her by November 1 if you plan to attend. Light refreshments will be provided on Saturday morning.

By attending, you are supporting SOAP, of which our own Debbie Abbott is the current president. If you have questions please ask JoAnne.

Several people asked on Sunday how to donate to the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance for Hurricane Helene. PDA established one fund several years ago to be used for all hurricanes and typhoons. PDA is already at work here in Florida assisting not only with Helene recovery but also Debby. They are also going into Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. You can give online directly to PDA using this link Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (pcusa.org)

MARION MEDICAL MISSION

In worship this Sunday we will be praying for Marion Medical Mission, an organization that seeks to share the love of Christ by providing wells with clean, safe drinking water to those in need in Africa. Marion Medical Mission has built over 53,000 wells delivering life-sustaining water in Jesus' name to over 5 million people. You can learn more about Marion Medical Mission at their website - https://www.mmmwater.org/.

We thank Pastor Jon for his story time about obedience. We learn new character traits each Pastor story time and put them into practice in our classrooms.

Join us in Fellowship Hall as we deepen our walk with God by learning what the biblical writers mean by the term salvation. We'll focus on Mark. Salvation is a rich and comprehensive term that gives us a glimpse of how much God loves us. Come hear the good news!
