Potluck and Learning Resumes
“Food and…The End of the World!”

“Food and…The End of the World!”
Sunday, November 19, after worship at 11:30 am
Our potluck and learning routine has been a bit irregular in recent weeks…but this week potluck is back! We’ll gather for food and discussion on the topic “Waiting at the End of the World.” We’ll learn a bit about big theology words like “apocalypse” and “eschatology,” and see how those ideas might offer practical guidance and comfort in a world that sometimes feels like it is falling apart. You re invited to bring your questions, and food to share, if you can.

All Saints Sunday Worship & Potluck – November 5
On All Saints Sunday, we worship and remember the saints who have gone before us. You are invited to add names of those we can remember and honor to the Book of Life in the Sanctuary through October 29 (or to email names to office@peaceaustin.org to be added).
Following worship, we will have a potluck lunch, and you are invited to bring a dish to share that connects you to saints of blessed memory. If you would like to bring a recipe, we will make copies to share with one another to join in remembering and honoring our loved ones.

Reformation is Coming!
This Sunday, October 29, you are invited to wear red or other fire colors…and to join in worship at 10 am in person or online, where Peace welcomes new members and blesses Bibles for the coming year of study. If you have your own devotional Bible, you may bring it for a blessing. And we will also have new Bibles for all ages ready if we can gift you one for your journey with sacred scripture.
We will also be Welcoming New Members in worship, and celebrating with them at a luncheon following the service.

On November 20th after church, there will be a read out loud circle! Everyone who wishes to participate should bring a written item to read out loud in front of others. It can be from a book, a poem, your own journal, or any other interesting written source, up to two pages or 5 minutes. If the reading sparks conversation, then the group can spend some time on it. If not, we move on down the circle.
