October is Clergy Appreciation month with October 9^th as Clergy Appreciation Day. It is an opportunity to thank those who are called to ministry. Pastors help us during the difficult times in our lives. They share God’s grace with us and help us understand God’s plan for us. October is a time to reflect on how pastors have enriched our lives. Please take the time to say thank you for their service and pray for their continued success in sharing God’s love.

Just a reminder that our Charge Conference is scheduled for 1:00 pm on Sunday, October 30^th at Colona United Methodist Church, 1709 Cleveland Road, Colona, IL. All forms need to be turned in to the office no later than October 10^th.
