Another Good One from Barbara!
Warmest Aloha & Blessings
We extend a warm Aloha to those who are single, mar-
ried, divorced, gay, filthy rich, dirt poor, and yo no hablo
ilocano o ingles! We extend a special welcome to those
who are crying newborns, people skinny as a rail or could
afford to lose a few pounds.
We welcome you if you can sing like Andrea Bocelli or if
you can’t carry a note in a bucket. You’re welcome here if
you’re “just browsing,” just woke up or just got out of
jail. We don’t care if you’re more Episcopal than the Pre-
siding Bishop, or more Catholic than the Pope, or haven’t
been in church since little Joey’s Baptism. We extend a
special welcome to those who are over 60 but not grown
up yet, and to teenagers who are growing up too fast.
Those digitally connected all the time and those
unconnected.
We welcome soccer moms, hunting dads, starving artists,
tree-huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians, junk-food eat-
ers. We welcome those who are in recovery or still ad-
dicted. We welcome you if you’re having problems or
you’re down in the dumps or if you don’t like “organized
religion,” we’ve been there too.
If you left all your offering money in Las Vegas, or shop-
ping at Costco, work too hard, don’t work, can’t spell, or
because grandma is in town and wanted to go to church.
We welcome those who are inked, pierced or both. We
offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer
now, had religion shoved down your throat as a kid or got
lost on the highway and wound up here by mistake. We
welcome tourists, seekers and doubters, bleeding
hearts...and you!
It’s great to have you here with us.

From Rev. Gretchen
THANKSGIVINGS
Over the years, most families in our country create
what becomes ‘their’ traditional Thanksgiving celebra-
tion. It varies somewhat with each family, but it is
usual to have a special meal with an established menu
of favorite, special recipes unique to that gathering.
The main course, roast turkey for many, is eagerly an-
ticipated. The table is set in a festive and traditional
manner with the best linen, plates, glasses, crystal and
silver. The meal is served to a gathering of closest
family and friends and occasionally even a stranger.
This wonderful feast is a single, special event in our
calendar year.
But maybe not! Consider what our church is offering
every Sunday morning! Our service of Holy Communion
is known as the Eucharist – which is from the Greek
language meaning “thanksgiving” – and the service be-
gins with a section in our Book of Common Prayer called
‘The Great Thanksgiving’. We offer a unique, special
meal served in a festive and traditional manner using
our best linen and dishes. The gathering consists of
our closest family and friends – a wonderful feast. Our
prayers preceding this meal summarize what God has
done and is doing for us. Thankfully, this celebration is
not just an annual event.
Remember we have a wonderful resource of Thanksgiv-
ing prayers in our Prayer Book (beginning on page 836)
and we all should consider using some of them daily
during the month of November.
Thankfully in His service, Rev. Gretchen

Soup and Shop
Thursday, December 5, 10:00 am—2:00 pm
Soup is a donation and pie is a dollar a slice.
We need pies, and baked goodies and canned goodies and
crafted items and re-gifted (we won’t tell) items and you get
the picture. We have a roof to pay for!!
HAPPY BAKIING-COOKING-?
Oh my. It is pretty scary when you walk inside a room and find a
ceiling tile on the floor. Which is exactly what happened last
month. Upon closer inspection, the roof of Ashton Hall was in
need of a new roof. Our best estimation as to when it was last
done was in the early 70’s, which makes the roof pretty old. We
were not expecting this $8000.00+ expense, so as you fill out
your pledge card for the coming year keep this in mind.
The safety audit fix-it crew will get back on track now that the
roof is finished. See you on Sunday(s) Sandy

Nurses’ Notes Each year during fire prevention month, public service messages remind us to change the batteries in our smoke detectors and test our smoke alarms. But how many of us think about how to prevent kitchen fires?
More fires start in the kitchen than in any other room in the house. Here are some other little known facts about kitch-en fires:
*The leading cause of home fires is cooking.
*One in eight households will have a cooking fire each year.
*Ranges and cooktops cause the most fires (more than grills, barbecues, rotisseries or ovens).
So how can you prevent kitchen fires?
*Stay in the kitchen when frying, grilling or broiling. Turnoff the stove or broiler whenever you leave the kitchen.
*If you’re simmering, baking, roasting or broiling food, set a timer to remind you to check it regularly.
*Keep things that can catch fire, such as pothold ers, towels and food packages, away from the heat. Also be sure to roll up your sleeves and tuck in your shirt.
*Keep little ones safe. Enforce a kid free zone of three feet around areas where hot food is prepared or served. Turn pot handles away from the stove edge, and when possible use the back burners. Keep hot foods and liquids away from the edge of the table or counter. Never lift or carry a child while holding hot food or liquids.
Everyone in your home who cooks needs to know what to do in case of a kitchen fire:
*When in doubt, get everyone out! Close the door behind you. Call 911.

*If a small grease fire starts and is confined to a pan on the stove, put on an oven mitt and smother the fire by sliding a lid over the pan. Turn off the burner. Do not move the pan and keep the lid on until the pan is cool.
In case of an oven or microwave fire, turn off the appli-ance and keep the door closed. Unplug the microwave if you can safely reach the outlet. Do not use the equipment again until it is certified safe.
If your clothes catch fire, stop, drop to the ground, cover your face with your hands and roll over and over—or back and forth—to put out the fire.
If you get a small burn, immediately put it under cool water for three to five minutes. If the burned area is bigger than a fist— or if you have any questions—seek medical atten-tion right away.
Jennifer Nelson, M.S.,R.D.

Thanksgiving is coming, which means family and friends will be over. And if you aren’t used to little ones, or have-n’t seen cousin Henry for a while or you are watching the game be extra careful in the kitchen. Better yet, go out to eat! No muss, no fuss, no dishes. Get a doggy back for leftovers the next day. Someone else can boil the carcass into soup!
Sharron will be back next month!! Yippeee
Thank You!!
Thanks to all that came out for the Church Clean-up.
The flower beds are in great shape for winter.
Thanks to all that turned in their UTO change, dollars
& checks!
More on UTO in the coming months.
