Big Band Highlights Thanksgiving Service

Dear Common Cup Members:

I'm not sure you are aware that FCUMC will co-sponsor the "Make A Joyful Noise Unto The Lord" concert by Ray Foster's Big Band on November 14th.

This will serve as the Community Thanksgiving Service co-sponsored by the Xenia Area Association of Churches.

I'm enclosing a copy of the  program. I'm serving on the planning committee and we are seeking sponsors. The sponsor's names will be listed in the program. We hope to raise enough money from sponsors to cover costs, then there will be a free will offering which along with any moneys left over from the sponsors, will go towards 3 charities, Fish, Interfaith Hospitality Network, and Good Samaritan Fund.

I'm inviting you to join me as a sponsor. To sponsor, make your check out to Faith Community UMC and indicate it's for "Make a Joyful Noise" concert. You may give the check to the church but please notify Joe Harner direct by October 30th deadline that you made a gift (The program goes for print November 1st).  He doesn't need to know the amount but he is responsible
 to get all the sponsors names listed. His phone number is 372-0852.

In His Service,
Sylvia Macduff

Faith Community Announces Policy Change

---

The Common Cup community of churches is so fortunate to have Faith Community church sharing their facilities and acting as an anchor for the Food Court and shared ministry opportunities. (We would call that a definitive act of Radical Hospitality)

That sharing does present extra challenges with safety and security issues and with that concern, Faith Community has made a few policy changes:

" During normal business hours, please enter the church through the church office, give your name to the volunteer receptionist, indicate where you will be in the building or what program you are attending and sign the log.  Also, please let us know when you leave the area.  In case of an emergency (fire, storm, etc.), we would need to know where you are located in the building.

In addition, effective immediately, the office is open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.  Please call the office to make prior arrangements if you need entry before 8:30 a.m.  The double doors into the Community Center next to the handicapped parking area will be unlocked at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesdays for Common Cup"

Please take note of these changes.

For most of our Common Cup people, it will amount to little or no inconvenience, but if you have some extra difficulty, we're sure that the church office or Virginia can work something out.
