Wreath Sales: Boy Scout Troop 123 will be taking orders for Christmas wreaths and garlands on October 20th after each service. These fresh Northwest grown products will be ready for delivery around Thanksgiving – in time for the holidays! Proceeds from these sales help our Scouts get to summer camp and support their yearly dues.
Trunk or Treat: Boy Scout Troop 123 is hosting a Trunk or Treat in the All Saints parking lot on October 30th from 6:30 – 7:30. We are seeking friends, families, and/or vendors to host a trunk for the neighborhood guests.

BOISE BENCH & BEYOND:
St. Vincent de Paul: The need for food and donations is great, and we rely on your continued generosity to feed roughly 900 neighbors in need at our Boise Food Pantry each week. We couldn’t do this without you! To find out how to help, follow this link: https://svdpid.org/food/#boise-OC and you can always add non-perishable items to the grocery cart in the narthex!

Most gracious God, you sent your beloved Son to preach peace to those who are far off and to those who are near: Raise up in your church witnesses who, after the example of your servant Vida Dutton Scudder, stand firm in proclaiming the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
