O God,
As our children dress up in costumes and “Trick or Treat” this evening on All Hallows Eve, may we pause to reflect on the lives and influence of all the saints who have gone before us. There have been so many who have impacted us, some whose names we know and others who are nameless to us. These saints exhibited love, patience, sacrifice and devotion. May we celebrate their legacy and may we consider the Christian legacy we will leave for future generations. Strengthen us, we pray, so that we might meet the challenges and opportunities of this day and all days. In Jesus name we pray, AMEN.

Tonight we will host “Trunk or Treat” on the Broadway Avenue side of the church. Members will decorate their car trunks and hand out candy. There will be food and games. Invite your neighbors and friends.
Next Sunday University Place Christian Church is hosting a CROP walk for hunger. A number of our young adults and youth will participate. There will be a place to leave a donation at “Trunk or Treat” or one can be made in the offering plate.
Next Saturday and Sunday we will host another Market of Blessings. A number of worthwhile causes will be represented and there will be numerous opportunities to purchase alternative Christmas gifts.
Please continue to pray for Joan Petersen, Wanda Gungoll, Richard Cook, Carrol Miller, and Twyla Tefft.
Please keep those Pony Express saddlebags moving. See you in church.
Grace and peace,
John McLemore
