ESUMC News­let­ter

November 2024


Dear friends in Christ,

Greetings and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus. I give thanks to God for the members of our community for your support and prayers over these past weeks, as I have traveled to the US following the deaths of a dear friend and my father.

We appreciate Pastor Tom Garrison and Jerry Barton for delivering inspiring words during the Sunday services in October, and to all our lay leaders for their contributions to the life of our ministry. And we look forward to receiving the message from ESUMC member and UMC Global Mission Fellow Daniel Mohr in worship this Sunday.

Please note that our celebration of All Saints' Sunday and the sacrament of Holy Commuion will be on Sunday 10 November.

In this newsletter you will find articles and updates regarding the life and ministry of our congregation, including news about Stewardship month and the upcoming Wärmestube season.

Due to the ongoing renovation works in our sanctuary, we continue to gather for our Sunday morning worship services in the upstairs fellowship area. As the renovation project takes shape, we shall keep the congregation informed of progress.

I wish you a blessed month of November, and look forward to seeing you in worship!

Yours in Christ, Pastor John
