The Verde Valley Fall Festival is Saturday at the fairgrounds and Spirit of Joy will have a booth there to represent SOJ and our JoyPack Ministry. This very fun event involves both children and adults and include coloring/mask making, pin the nose on the pumpkin, etc, mini/regular tractor pulls, and huge craft sale. Members are asked to donate prizes for the “pin the nose on the pumpkin” and other kid’s games. Please get donated prizes to Judy H before Saturday. Pumpkins are painted, thanks to Kylie Densmore! This is our opportunity to share SOJ’s community outreach, including the Joy Packs Ministry.
Next Sunday is Reformation Sunday. Wear RED to celebrate the founding of the Lutheran Church!
