The Shoppe is an important ministry of the congregation, and we need to show our support to keep it open in the next few months. We need volunteers both for in-shop hours, and for off-site sales. Our most pressing need is for volunteers on Wednesdays. The shop is open from 9:30-12:30 (in Oct), or 9:30-3:30 (Nov-Dec). Please sign up on the sheet in back if you are willing to volunteer in the next couple of months, to help keep the Shoppe going strong! Simmering Sunday Lunch, & Conversation Pastor Joe Ellwanger has long been an icon for race and justice ministry in the city of Milwaukee. His prophetic witness through the Civil Rights Movement and turbulent years in Milwaukee as an inner city pastor are captured in his recent book “Strength for the Struggle.” Pastor Joe joins us for a conversation about race, justice, and ministry in Milwaukee. You won’t want to miss it! Women’s Guild Women’s Guild meets this Tuesday, Nov. 4 in the Lounge. Our hostess this month is Nita Matter—please call her with questions.

Dear CDLC friends, The Discernment Team has been reading a book entitled “The Future Starts Now.” In it, we were encouraged to see how our whole model of being has been centered around scarcity thinking— if only we had ____, we could do/be ____. And so we try to fill in all the blanks. But, what would happen if we took a step back, and stopped trying to fix problems or meet needs? What if we began by trying to know more deeply who we are in Christ, and what God’s plan for us is? What then? District 7 Faith Based Initiative Meeting This month we meet at Albright UMC (next door) on Thurs Nov 6th, from 5:30-7pm. If you’d like to get more involved with other faith-based groups in keeping our community happier, healthier, and safer, then please come along! News You’ll notice in worship a new installation piece— our Renewal Dream Board. The Discernment Team will be helping lead us in envisioning what the future could look like. And we will invite you to add to the board as well! Make a Difference Day Sat Nov 8th Our EPiC friends are all meeting to help seniors in our immediate church neighborhoods from 9-12 on Sat. Nov. 8. We will be raking, light yard work, and other things to help seniors winterize. Please sign up on the sheet in the back so we can organize volunteers. BE WHO YOU ARE. Before any strategic plan, before any asset-mapping, before any renewal can begin, we start by prayerfully discerning how we can be used to do God’s will. Because we are all gifted and blessed, we each have a part to play in God’s plan. And so does our church... So, what is it? What is our mission? Being clear about who we are and what really matters to us is essential if we want to meaningfully do what matters to God. So— who are you? Who is CDLC? What is our purpose? GIRL RISING: Film, Activities, Lunch Girls AGES TEN AND OLDER, and the women in their lives, are invited to come explore the education of girls through a world lens. Join us Saturday, November 22, 2014, 10am-2pm at Body and Soul Healing Arts Center, 3617 N. 48th Street, Milwaukee. See flyer in back for more info. SEE WHAT YOU HAVE. Sometimes the trouble with “seeing what we have” isn’t that we don’t have, it’s that we can’t see. Do we see where God is loose in the world? Do we see what resources, passions, and gifts are in our church and in the community at large? Sunday Afternoon Worship by GST @ Luther Manor For the next 3 weeks, Nov 2-16, Good Shepherd Trinity is taking Sunday Worship to Luther Manor at 3:00pm. All are invited for Sunday afternoon worship and help bring a senior resident that needs assistance down the hall to worship. DO WHAT MATTERS. Once we are clear about God’s purposes for us, and then see what God’s already working and lifting up in our communities, then we will start to have a sense about the direction God is headed with us. Ideas for action will emerge. “Curtains” the Musical—an all ages event Where can you go and see a murder mystery, a wild west saloon dance, a Kansas square dance, a 1950’s night on the town, and MERMAIDS?? “Curtains” the Musical is coming to Wauwatosa East High School— and the EPiC churches are meeting there on Friday November 21 for the 7pm show—come and see Livia Quinn in the show and the 210+ costumes that Lisa Quinn designed. Tickets are $15 adult/$12 senior and s t u d e n t . B u y yo u r t i c k e t s a t : h t t p : / / www.tosaeasttheatre.org or call 866-967-8167. Our hope is that with this visual plotting of our vocations and assets this congregation will be convicted in its mission to be set free to use our gifts in ways that make a real difference in this church which we care about.
