Pet Food Drive through October
Donate bags or cans of pet food throughout October to help someone on a limited

Food Bank and the Kent Animal Shelter (RASKC).
Drop off your new, unopened bags of pet food in the collection boxes, found in the
narthex, outside the red, front doors to the sanctuary building or at the preschool
entrance.
Thank you!
Fairwood United Women of Faith Nov 14th 10am
All those identifying as female are invited to join us at the Fairwood United Women in Faith’s general meeting on Thursday, November 14, 10:00am in the church parlor. It is World Thank Day, so we’ll take an offering for that.
Also, we’ll collect $20 gift cards to be used for gas and groceries by residents at Vine Maple Place. We’ll also give an update on our quilt, craft and bake sale.
Join us for refreshments, a brief program and fellowship with others!
All-Church (Charge) Conference Sunday, October 27 at 11:30 a.m.
Our annual All-Church (Charge) Conference will be held next Sunday, October 27,
at 11:30am in the sanctuary. Join us for worship at 10:00 with our District
Superintendent, Rev. Derek Nakano, preaching. Then we’ll have a simple lunch
after worship. We plan to start the Conference at 11:30am.
Our Sea-Tac Missional District Superintendent, Rev. Derek Nakano, will lead us in
this gathering. We’ll receive annual reports from our church leaders, elect our
church leaders for next year, and set Pastor Ferdie’s salary. All members can
participate in church-wide decisions. This is a time to celebrate progress, assess our
present ministry, and envision our future.

The United Women in Faith here at Fairwood offered many beautiful quilts, creative crafts, and yummy baked goods for sale last Sunday.
Thanks to all the quilt-makers, craft-makers, goodie bakers and shoppers! The proceeds of over $3,200 will benefit local and UWF organizations supporting families and children.
Quilts and crafts will be for sale after worship on Sunday, November 10 for one last chance. Look for a link (in the November Epistle newsletter) to the items still available. You can reserve an item for you.

UMCOR - Donations always welcome
UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) responds to natural or civil disasters of such magnitude that they overwhelm a community’s ability to recover on its own. Through UMCOR, United Methodists extend loving care to people affected by hurricanes or other disasters.
In response to Hurricanes Helene and Milton devastation, UMCOR is coordinating with affected annual conferences and supporting their local relief efforts. So far, UMCOR has awarded grants to the North Georgia, South Georgia, Western North Carolina and Holston annual conferences. Additionally, UMCOR-trained Early Response Teams (ERTs) are coordinating efforts to support the removal of debris, tarping of roofs, and cleaning out of homes in hard-hit areas.
You can still contribute to UMCOR hurricane relief efforts.
Donate through online giving at our https://fairwoodumc.org/give/ page with the tile for UMCOR
You may also donate with check or cash; just make sure to label it for UMCOR hurricane relief.
