Congratulations to Valerie Bowden and her Marketplace team. The Marketplace was a huge success. The event was well attended and all seemed to be having a great time. Thank you to all the many hands that made it a fun and financially successful event. 
 
Val asked me to reach out and see if anyone took tags from the Giving Tree but did not log them onto the sign-in sheets. Tags #31 and #10 for Daniel and Alexandra were taken but she needs to know who has them. Please check your tag and contact Val at valdalee14@yahoo.com if you have the tag. 
 
This Sunday is Scout Sunday and our Ingathering Service with music provided by the Praise Band and Youth Singers. During worship, we will give thanks for all that is good in our lives. In Sunday School, the children recently explored the story of young Mary who said yes to God's call. We too will spend some time with the story. Who was Mary and what does she mean to us today?
 
On Tuesday evening at 7 P.M., the Melrose Interfaith Thanksgiving Service is at the Highlands. Many Melrose houses of worship join together for this service. We hope to have you join us in this time of Thanksgiving. 
 
See you Sunday, 
 
Beth

As you likely have heard, our Senior High Youth Group this June is going on a mission trip to Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. This Sunday in worship, our guests from Sanctuary Church, UCC will share their experiences at Pine Ridge. Below, please see an excerpt from a press release which was sent to the papers this week.
 
On Sunday, November 8th, the Highlands Church will welcome several members of Sanctuary UCC in Medford who are veteran Pine Ridge volunteers and will participate in the service.  Joy Harris and Bruce Roberts co-led three trips to Pine Ridge; Kathy Williams, who will preach that Sunday, was a trip leader/volunteer; Elizabeth Binckes, a BU student, participated in the 2015 trip to Re-Member. They will also do a detailed presentation for the Senior Youth Group after worship.  They'll be joined by Tosa Two Heart, a young Oglala Lakota woman pursuing an advanced degree at Bentley.
 
I hope you can join us Sunday!
 
Peace, Beth
