Weekly E-Pistle: "Attitude of Gratitude" at Douglas UCC

10/11/2019

 
Picture
In this Sunday's Gospel story,  Jesus ministers to 10 people, but only one of them comes back to say, "Thank You."  Jesus is letting us know that gratitude is such a powerful spiritual tool with life-changing effects. Come join us this Sunday at 10 AM, as we learn how to cultivate an "attitude of gratitude."  Special music: Elizabeth Estes. Followed by our 2nd Sunday of the Month Potluck.

Wow! We are so very proud of our Douglas UCC CROP Walk Team who raised more than $3,700 at last Sunday's CROP Hunger Walk in Saugatuck/Douglas!!  We had more walkers and raised more money than ever before! Thank you to our team and to all who sponsored their efforts. The monies raised help fight hunger here in Allegan County and around the world.

Please join us this Sunday, immediately following our worship service, for our 2nd Sunday of the Month Potluck in the Friendship Hall. Please bring a dish to share. We are also in need of one or two people to stay afterwards and help clean up. Thank you.

We had such a wonderful evening on Thursday night, as we welcomed award-winning author, Frank J. Cunningham, to Douglas UCC to discuss his book, Vesper Time: The Spiritual Practice of Growing Older.  More than 20 people were in attendance for an inspiring discussion.
