At A Glance –
School Kits for Church World Service (CWS) – Wrap up
This Sunday we will be blessing 56 School Kit Tote bags, before we send them to The Church World Service depot. Your faithful donations of school equipment will enable 56 children in need to go to school, possibly for the first time. Notebooks, pencils, and crayons seem so basic and common in our everyday lives, but not so for the children who will receive a School Kit Tote bag from Zion. These simple items make all the difference in the world to their future. Thank you for your generosity.
**Does anyone have a couple of hours free to drive our seven boxes to Bloomfield, NJ? I’m happy to take a road trip with you. We would save a lot of money on postage if we can bring rather than mail our boxes. – Mother Mary
***************************************************************************************
SAVE THE DATE: All Saints Sunday November 4th 10:00 am. We will celebrate All Saints Day/All Souls Day with a service of Renewal of Baptismal Vows. Please plan to come to Zion on this special Sunday!
**All Souls Day Shrine: As part of the yearly commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, we remember and give thanks for all the people in our lives we “love but see no longer” (BCP p. 504), by creating a shrine of photographs of our departed loved ones. Please bring as many photographs as you wish to add to the All Souls Day Shrine before the service on Nov. 4th. The shrine is temporary – your photographs will go home with you.
Remembering the Lights of Christ: Every year we create a Necrology, a list of those who have died whom we wish to remember on All Saints Day. Please send, via e-mail, the names of your loved ones you would like to be remembered during the worship service. If you would like to give a special gift to Zion’s Sacristy Renovation Fund in their honor, please mark your check “All Saints Day gift” on the Memo line.
**************************************************************************************
THAT SPOOKY TIME OF YEAR IS COMING –HALLOWE’EN! The Dobbs Ferry Hallowe’en celebration will be on Wednesday Oct. 31st 4:00 pm-6:00 pm. Zion will have a table at the foot of our driveway and give out treats to all the kittens, Spiderman, Ninja Turtles, wizards and other costumed visitors (and coffee to their beleaguered parents).
VERY IMPORTANT! Please pick up some candy when next you are at the store and drop it in the Candy Box in the Parish Hall vestibule or the Parish Office. Let Mo. Mary know if you are able to distribute the candy treats on Hallowe’en (costumes are optional, but preferred!)
******************************************************************************
A Continuing Mission…
Vested Interests for K-9s : There are some wonderful, hand crafted Greeting Cards still available and for sale at Coffee Hour, to support our children’s mission goal of purchasing a Kevlar vest for some luck police dog. Just imagine how pleased your family and friends will be when they receive a beautiful handmade card from you (something wonderful in the mail, surrounded by junk mail and bills!).

AFRICAN TEAM MINISTRY’S AFRICAN CRAFTS SALE – Wrap up
Through your purchases of African crafts we were able to send $405.00 to African Team Ministries, for work among the people of East Africa. Thank you for supporting this vibrant and important ministry to people in need.
**************************************************************************************
THE ST. FRANCIS BOX: During the month of October, which begins with the yearly commemoration of St. Francis, Zion members are reminded that we are called to care for all of creation; as St. Francis would say, “All our brother and sister creatures of the Lord”. To that end, we fill The St. Francis Box with food (canned dog food, no kibble please), towels, blankets, cat beds, and toys for the animals (but no catnip – it make them too crazy!) at The Paws Crossed Animal Rescue. Please go through your closets for old towels and sheets, and remember the needs of the shelter animals when you pass by the pet store. The St. Francis Box is in the church, in front of the baptismal font.

Remember, the education of children in the Christian story and witness is everyone’s responsibility and joy. If you have any questions please contact Mary Ford-Sussman or Laura Crowley.
