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!
ALL SAINTS DAY
Our All Saints Day Gallery is up in the North Alcove, on display for the Anniversary Celebration and a few weeks in November.
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.

BOOK CLUB
The book club of GECov members studying racial justice has picked our next book, by Jennifer Bailey "To my Beloveds: Letters on Faith, Race, Loss, and Radical Hope." It is a short book in which she shares her personal experiences including her mother's death from cancer. We will start discussions November 2 and should finish before the holidays. We have changed our meeting night to Tuesdays, 7:30-8:30, on Zoom. (Except not meeting the second Tuesday of every month). We are happy to have more people join us, if you are interested call or text Mary Crickmore at 630-888-8522.

ANNIVERSARY ART EXHIBIT
Our artists have responded to Psalm 75 in honor of our 75th Anniversary. The South Alcove Gallery is now open, with more art coming in the next few days. Each piece has an artist inspiration of how Psalm 75 spoke to them. Come see the artists’ forms of worship.
