November 1-3, Efland, NC
Come join us for a beautiful weekend rescuing good food we will give to those living in food insecurity. This trip is planned through the gleaning organization, the Society of St. Andrew. This produce would otherwise go to waste. All produce is donated to those in need.

This trip is a nice mix of volunteer work, learning about hunger and there will be time for relaxing and enjoying the beauty of Camp Chestnut Ridge where we will stay. Go to flpc.org/happenigs/eventsfor more information and registration. Contact Jodibeckham@flpc.org if you're interested or have questions.

Director of Communications Job Opening

Forest Lake Presbyterian Church is looking for a part-time Director of Communications and Administration. The position is often the first contact people have with our congregation, so composure and warmth are essential skills. The position coordinates communication both within and outside of the congregation. This includes everything from creating weekly bulletins to managing the church’s website and social media accounts. Good administrative skills and experience, and excellent communication skills (interpersonal, digital, written) are essential. Must be proficient in Microsoft Office 365, Adobe Acrobat, and database management software. Thirty hours a week. Annual salary $32,760. No insurance or pension benefits are included; however, the work environment is wonderful, and the office schedule has flexibility.

Please go to flpc.org/happenings/events for the application or email us at contactus@flpc.org.

We are now registering boys and girls 2nd-12th grade for our FLPC basketball teams with the Christian Youth Basketball League. Cost of registration is $80 per player. Please go to flpc.org/happenings/events for more information and registration. Deadline to register is October 14. Questions, contact Jennifer Webb or Pete Pigeon.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept 24 at 6:00 we will have another MORE Justice House Meeting, in the church parlor.

MORE Justice is a local non-profit challenging us to think about how we care for the “least of these” among us. How do hourly wage workers afford a safe place to live? How can our low-income elderly widows, who can’t afford a car, get healthy food to eat? How do we reduce gun violence in our community so that everyone is safer? The answers to these questions are not simple or easy, and require community effort.

You are invited to come be part of the solution. It starts with this House Meeting where you will be asked, "What community problem makes you angry and why?" This meeting will last an hour and a half. Please, join us. We need to hear from YOU!

Go to flpc.org/happenings/events to register.

Are you a knitter or crocheter? We would love to have your handiwork for our prayer shawl ministry. Folks who knit/crochet make shawls that are prayed over and given to those in need of comfort. If you would like to make shawls, please contact Beth Rozek.

FLPC is full of fascinating people. If you would like to get to know the folks you worship with, then consider registering for a My Neighbor’s Voice Supper Club! Members and Guests are invited to choose up to three dates on which you will gather (with 7 others) for supper in a member’s home. As we eat, we will answer questions provided by the My Neighbor’s Voice card deck. Everyone has the chance to LISTEN to their neighbors as they answer questions on a wide variety of topics.

Participants do more listening than talking, and you will be AMAZED and DELIGHTED at what you learn!

Register today at FLPC.org/happenings/events to pick your My Neighbor’s Voice Supper Club dates!
