WOMEN'S RETREAT!
Yes, we are back!
The 18th Annual (with a few years off in the middle) Women's Retreat is coming soon. Specifically, it is Friday and Saturday, October 18th and 19th. The theme this years is:
You Are So Beautiful!
We will gather in the church Parlor Friday evening from 6:00-8:30 PM and get to know each other a little, hear about what will happen during the retreat, and sing some songs. Saturday we'll return to start at 9:00 AM, and learn all about what beauty is - in our eyes, in others' eyes, and in God's eyes. We will have time for prayer, silence, lunch (provided), laughter, and a really awesome craft that is related to beauty. We'll end with a Love Feast and you can leave the church by 5:00 PM. Flyers and registration forms are available in the church Narthex (entry-way) or you can mail Bonnie-jean at bjmrowe@verizon.net.

TRUNK OR TREAT
It's Almost Time!
Beacon of Hope will host a community Trunk or Treat on Saturday afternoon, October 26th at 3:00 PM - but WE NEED YOU to pull it off!
Look for your car's costume and join us in the church parking lot on Saturday, October 26th. Arrive in time to set up yourself and your car - to be ready by 3:00 PM. We will all hand out smiles and candy until 5:00 PM.
I plan to advertise this in the town, so don't let me down by not coming! Make our community kids happy on the 26th with a safe, fun way to enjoy Halloween.
You can look on Pinterest for ideas to use for your car or order a set on Amazon. Many are not expensive at all.
If you are willing to help in any way, please sign up in the Narthex
Come and join the fun!!! - Bonnie-jean Rowe

WEDNESDAY NIGHT BIBLE STUDY
Join us at Beacon of Hope United Methodist Church for our Wednesday Night Bible Study, where we gather together virtually via Zoom from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm. This engaging and enriching study offers a wonderful opportunity to delve deeper into God's word, discuss scripture, and grow in faith alongside fellow believers. Led by our knowledgeable and passionate leaders, these sessions provide a supportive and welcoming environment for participants of all ages and backgrounds.
Our current study is the book Wrestling with Doubt, Finding Faith by Adam Hamilton. The format of the session will be a short video clip, then a discussion based on that and a chapter you read ahead of time.
Homework before our next meeting-Read chapter 6 - our final chapter.
The following week there is no study.
Whether you're seeking to deepen your understanding of the Bible, connect with others in the faith community, or simply explore questions of spirituality, we invite you to join us as we journey together in pursuit of spiritual growth and enlightenment.
