FEATURED UPDATES
OCTOBER IS PASTOR APPRECIATION MONTH
Did you know that October is Pastor Appreciation Month? Some suspect that it is a holiday that that was established by Hallmark, but in actuality the celebration began in 1992 as “Clergy Appreciation Month” with a mission of uplifting and encouraging pastors, missionaries and religious workers. We are privileged to have a wonderful pastor and a faithful staff. We are thankful for the leadership that Pastor Jeff provides and for the beautiful ministry of the entire staff… both those who have been with us for some time and those who have recently joined the staff. Please take a few moments over the coming days to express your appreciation to Pastor Jeff, and to Jori, and to our staff. I was recently struck by the words of leadership guru Peter Drucker who said, “Over the years I have made a career out of studying the most challenging management roles out there. After all of that I am now convinced the two most difficult jobs in the world are these—one, to be President of the United States, and two, to be the leader of a church.” Pastor Jeff, thank you for answering God’s call!
CHOIR
Choirs have a wonderful history at Glen Ellyn Covenant Church. We are forming a choir
to help lead music in worship on Sunday, November 7th. Rehearsals for this will be
held after worship – the Sunday School hour – on Sundays, October 24 and 31.
We will meet in the sanctuary and sit somewhat distanced from one another.
Email me if you have questions, etc.

PREPARATION FOR ALL SAINTS DAY
The Tribe of Dan and Worship Arts would like to display our 8x10 black and white pictures of our church saints who have gone before us to be with the Lord, on All Saints Day, Nov. 1.
We have not done this during the pandemic, so we have some of our own beloved who have passed during these past two years. If you would like your loved one's picture displayed in the sanctuary on All Saints Day, please submit a black and white 8x10 picture and name and dates and short bio of how they are connected to you, by Oct.15! If you know of others who do not see this newsletter and are connected to our church, please pass this along.
Any questions, see Leslie or Kriste Sveen
