John Mote
The family of John Mote is deeply grateful for all the kind expressions of sympathy. Your cards, phone calls, the lovely reception (and hard work that it entailed) and beautiful Celebration of Life Service made it so clear to us that SUMC is a very caring community.

United Methodist Men Prepare for Pancake Breakfast
All men of the church and their male guests are invited to their bi-monthly breakfast meeting on Saturday, November 19, at 8AM. In addition to fellowship and worship, this will be a planning meeting for a pancake breakfast the men will be hosting, open to the public, in conjunction with the Stanwood Christmas Celebration, "Nostalgic Noel" on Saturday, December 3. That day there will be holiday events all over town, culminating in the Santa Parade at 5PM in historic Stanwood. Plan to start your day on December 3, 8AM, right here at SUMC with a pancake breakfast to fuel your day as you partake in all the festivities offered.
Helpers Needed to Count Offering
Enjoy working with figures? Sarah Everett, our Financial Secretary, would like to start training several people to help with the money count on Monday mornings. Two people are always required when counting money. There are times when only one person is available so a trained back-up who could step in as needed is essential. Please call the office at 629-9555 if interested.
Prayer Shawls
Thanks to several generous donations and astute shopping by Barbara Shaffer, we have some gorgeous new yarns available to be knitted or crocheted into prayer shawls for anyone in need. Ask at the office for a look-see and directions. Yarn and directions are also on the counter in Wesley Hall.
Martha Sanders has four new ink cartridges, HP 21-22, that she no longer needs and would like to sell; price negotiable. Call her at 939-0691.
