Message: Maine Seacoast Mission
Scripture: Matthew 7: 24-27
Dear UPA family,
Many thanks to so many of you who contributed your time and energies Saturday to a beautiful Celebration of Life and reception for Linda Wood-Boyle. Pei sent me this video of Linda singing “On Eagle’s Wings” over the summer. Grateful that we can remember Linda and keep alive her deep legacy.

This Sunday in place of a sermon, we will be sharing about the Maine Seacoast Mission trip that UPA went on last summer. Mark Fitzgerald will also be giving a stewardship testimonial, and Elle and Pei will be leading Sunday school. Confirmation class is this Sunday evening.
Thank you to all our volunteers and leaders who contributed to another very successful Pumpkin Patch this October. Well done!
So grateful that our new bridge Pastor, Bonnie, started last Saturday. Bonnie Steinroeder has been an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ for nearly 30 years. I met Bonnie years ago while leading the Conference wide UCC confirmation retreats for youth and churches. We are blessed to have Bonnie with us in this challenging time. See Bonnie’s note for the congregation included below.
In peace and gratitude,
Matt
