The trustees are recommending that we modify the agreement made at a congregational meeting held earlier, and that the church sell to Edge Hill Cemetery the four acres the church owns within the cemetery itself, and property located at Congress and West<br \/>\nstreets, for $50,000.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Steeple Rededication<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThe scaffolding is down, (updated photo in newsletter) and the project is near completion! The steeple will be rededicated on Sunday, October 7 at the close of both worship services. Following the 11am service there will be a light reception on the lawn (weather permitting), something we were not able to do all summer.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Fall Festival<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis isn\u2019t new event, just a reminder. The annual fall festival will be held on Sunday, October 14 following worship. There will be one worship service that morning at 11am.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Scarf Night (well, afternoon) and bake sale<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis event is being coordinated by the Mission and Outreach Committee. On Saturday, November 3, we will have a unique event. From 2pm-5pm you are invited to come and design a scarf (typically, these are for women). We will also have a bake sale\/cake auction with this event. Scarves are $45 each, and the church will receive $10 per scarf for the steeple fund. These<br \/>\nmake great gifts! Come on out for a great time of fellowship and fun and help Save the Steeple. (The Missions and Outreach committee is also seeking donated baked goods for this event)<\/p>\n<p>Blessings,<\/p>\n<p>Pastor John<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you noticed that scaffolding actually has been removed?<br \/>\nUpdates about upcoming events in the life of the church. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ctpres.org\/ctpressblog\/2018\/09\/14\/ctpress-september-14-2018\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1063,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ctpres.org\/ctpressblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/20180805_103449-e1536936275863.jpg?fit=3024%2C4032&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ctpres.org\/ctpressblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ctpres.org\/ctpressblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ctpres.org\/ctpressblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ctpres.org\/ctpressblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ctpres.org\/ctpressblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1062"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.ctpres.org\/ctpressblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1062\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1066,"href":"https:\/\/www.ctpres.org\/ctpressblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1062\/revisions\/1066"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ctpres.org\/ctpressblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ctpres.org\/ctpressblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ctpres.org\/ctpressblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ctpres.org\/ctpressblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
