Greetings to all!
Walnut Hill member Winfred "Windy" Ellis departed this life today, November 17,
2010. Windy was among those who guided the work and gathered the resources
necessary to restore Walnut Hill's buildings and grounds after years of disuse and
neglect. He was also instrumental in raising funds for the stone fence that graces
Walnut Hill's frontage on the Walnut Hill Road. Even in these last few years when
poor health prevented his attendance, Walnut Hill Church remained close to Windy's
heart. Appropriately, services and interment for Windy will be at Walnut Hill Church
and Cemetery. Milward Funeral Directors are in charge of arrangements.
"Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, says the Spirit. They rest from their labors,
and their works follow them."
The Scripture lessons for Sunday, November 21, Christ the King:
Psalm 23
Mark 6:30-44
Sunday Conversations continue this Sunday, November 21, 10am, in Trinity Hall.
Our topic for the day, "Practical Solidarity." We will explore what it means to be in
"practical solidarity" with others, from the neighbor next door to the people of Haiti.
Children's Choir practice continues this Sunday, November 21, 10:15am, as
the children prepare for a Christmas season presentation. All children through
elementary age are invited to participate. Look for the choir in the "children's
chapel" (weather permitting) or in Trinity Hall. (For adults attending Sunday
Conversations, supervision for children will be available in the Nursery beginning
at 10am. They will be escorted to Children's Choir at 10:15.)
Audio Improvements: All interested persons are invited to an informal conversation
this Sunday, November 21, after worship, regarding proposed audio improvements
for the Sanctuary. The goal of the improvements is to enhance our assistance to those
with special hearing needs, general amplification of softer speaking voices, and improved
recording capabilities, and to bring all these tasks together in one system. Sunday's
conversation is strictly to provide information, answer questions, and receive concerns.
No final decisions will be made at this meeting.
Thanksgiving Stuffing: Walnut Hill Church is providing the stuffing/dressing, about 400
servings, for the Nathaniel Mission Community Thanksgiving Dinner, on Tuesday,
November 23. We need a couple volunteers to pick up, warm up, and deliver that
stuffing on Tuesday morning/afternoon. Use reply email or contact Mike Ward for more
details on how you might help with this.
In the Community: As part of a six church ecumenical cooperative, Walnut Hill members
and friends are invited to an ecumenical and interfaith Thanksgiving Worship Service
on Sunday, November 21, 7pm, at Central Baptist Church (on Nicholasville Road across
from Fayette Mall). Attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for God's Pantry.
A cash offering will be collected for the Hope Center.
Peace to all.
Mike Ward
