Hurricanes 2022 Emergency Appeal from the UCC Hello friends, The UCC has issued an appeal to support immediate needs for families and communities affected by Hurricanes Fiona and Ian. If you would like to give to this cause, please send or bring a check to the church noting Hurricanes 2022 on your check. Thank you for considering this appeal. A TRIMMED BUSH……. What a difference it makes when the bushes have been cut back, over-growth removed, trees cut back or down……all of these happened last week when Leah, Gary and Lois got serious about cleaning up the front of the church buildings. Not only were there way too many out- of -control plants and greenery, but it was hiding our very attractive church buildings. (now the buildings seem to be saying, “whew, we can breath again! ) I saw at least 2 large trailer loads of of debris taken away and plans are already in the pipeline for fresh plantings with a more easily controlled landscaping plan in mind. So, between George and his lawnmowing / trimming care and Gary, Leah and Lois doing a major clean out, NYCC is looking real good. Thank you so much for caring. Coffee Hour going Forward Coffee hour will resume with home made baked goods, fruits and crackers and cheese. We will use up the pre wrapped goodies eventually. We will have a sign up sheet in the gathering space for signing up for making coffee and also bringing baked goods on any given Sunday. Any unused bakery items can be wrapped thoroughly and frozen for future use. Marsha Heath, Moderator Annual Reports It’s not too early for those who will be writing a report for the Annual Report to start their engines, I mean REPORTS, now. At least thinking about them. It’s uncomfortable for me to hassle, beg, twist arms. or threaten folks to get reports in to Lyn at church office. Sooooo, that is not going to happen. I will send out reminders for the next several weeks and would appreciate reports in by early December. Send to nyarmouthccucc@gmail.com, please. Jeanne Chadbourne, Church Clerk A Note from the Men’s Club The Men’s Club would like to thank all, particularly the Women’s Fellowship/Tuesday Gals for the cookies, fudge and bars to sell.

Decorated sugar cookies are always a big hit but even the simplest chocolate chip cookie is welcomed, along with seasonal breads and pies, yummy brownies and bars, and delicious jams and jellies. These items can be dropped off the day before or early morning at the start of the fair. If pickup is needed, please call Sue at 831-9014 to arrange a time. Happy baking! Silent Auction for the Christmas Fair The 2022 Santa’s Workshop is coming together. We finally held a fair last year after 2 years without a fair. Bet you can guess why!! We would like to add the silent auction back into the fair this year and we need your help! We’re pulling a silent auction together with a small number of gifts. We’d like a few more!! Do you have a place in the mountains to offer for skiers? You can decide the number of days being offered and when the place will be available. This could be limited to church family if you’d like. What about a summer cottage for those who like to sit in the sunshine? Again, you can decide what dates and can limit it to church family. Perhaps you’ve canned fruit and veggies. Sew, knit, paint a scene? Or will cook/bake a meal. You choose the menu to be listed on the bid sheet. Are you a photographer and will take pictures of the winners’ choosing? You get to choose the date available. What about lawn mowing, clearing out the garden next spring? Gift Certificates are always popular! If you’d like to discuss this, I need you to email me or call. I’m here and there and hardly know when I’ll be home. So after 9am to 7:30pm call 233-8914. 2sons@maine.rr.com. Thank you! Candace Smith Jewelry Request for the Christmas Fair Are you sure of what’s in your jewelry box or drawer? Got some items to go with a particular outfit and that’s no longer in your closet?

Or stop in and chat with Tuesday Gals; we are in the Fellowship Hall starting at 10:00 am. Of course, we’d enjoy seeing you and maybe you’d like a cup of coffee.
