Dear Members and Friends of The PORT,

Attached is the link to the October newsletter. We are gearing up for two big community events, first starting with our 3rd annual Trunk or Treat on Saturday, 10/25 from 3-5pm. Please bring your family and friends for a safe and fun way to trick or treat. We'll even have a bonfire with s'mores!  We need decorated vehicle trunks too, so get your creative ideas pulled together, don a costume if you want to, and come at 2pm to set up. Don't forget the candy!

Our second coming event is our 51st annual Holiday Bazaar on  November 14 and 15. In these final weeks before the Bazaar we've shared a few ways where everybody can get involved now (see page 6). As the saying goes, many hands will make light work, so please join us and let's make it another great year!

Pastor Steve has been busy meeting with our members and friends, and he is still hoping to meet with any of you who've not yet been able to do so. Please call the church office to set up a time, or you can reach out to Pastor Steve by email as well. He's been enjoying these meetings and loves hearing the stories of how people came to this church. Be sure to read his article on pages 2-3 for many updates and news.

Please be aware that starting this week our driveway from Portland Avenue is closed due to road construction. It is planned to be closed until the middle of November. The recommended detour is to use 5th Avenue from 81st Street. See page 3 for more details and a map.

We hope you are enjoying these beautiful late summer/early autumn days. We look forward to seeing you very soon at The PORT!
