IMPORTANT THINGS/DATES TO REMEMBER THIS WEEK:
- River Road congregation – Please remember to bring toilet paper donations with you to service on Sunday 10/23 so I can take them to Junction City Local Aid next week. (The things I never thought I’d have to type! Lol)
- We still need volunteers for the trunk or treat event. While some of us are working our cars & games, others are still needed to help with setup, handle food, etc.
- 10/20 Sweet Teas & Trivia (more details in grid below)
- 10/23 River Road town hall meeting after service. There will be discussion about the Halloween Trunk or Treat event as well as planning for the remainder of the year.

| Both | Wednesday | 10/26 | 6:00pm | After reading all about emotions in Atlas of the Heart, the Women’s book club felt it was appropriate to watch the movie “Inside Out.” All are welcome to come watch the movie with us even in you weren’t in book club. We will be showing the movie at the River Road church.

| Both | Monday | 10/31 | 4:30-8:00 | Trunk or Treat event at River Road location. Trunk or Treat will go from 4:30-6:00 then “Casper” will be shown in the yard. The movie will also be open to the community as part of our Halloween event. The movie can be watched from a blanket or chair in the yard as well as drive in style from a car using the AM transmitter for sound. Event starts at 4:30. If you have a car in the trunk or treat, you need to be there early to get setup & open for business by 4:30. We still need volunteers to supervise the bounce house & prepare the food. (Those with a vehicle in the trunk or treat will be staffing their vehicle as well as games located near their car.) We are also still looking for more people to include their cars in the event. Please let us know even if you only have an available car (but no idea of how to decorate it) or an idea for a theme but no available vehicle & we can pair them up!

REMINDERS:
I will continue to add any prayers received on request slips during Sunday service to the prayer wall on our website unless the slip specifically says that it is not to be posted on-line. The prayer wall is available 24/7 for anyone to add a prayer. Although the prayer wall is on Eugene’s website it is also open for Salem members to use! Once at https://gcriverroad.com/ hover over the ANNOUNCEMENTS heading at the top of the screen & then click on Prayer Wall when it appears. Scroll to the bottom of the prayer list to enter your request into the provided fields. The name field is required; however, if you would like to add a request anonymously, you can enter “anonymous” there. You will still have to enter your email address, but it will not be posted anywhere. Once you have filled out the four fields (name, email, prayer request & select to share), click submit to post your request to the wall.
