It is almost Thanksgiving! So many people will be getting together with families, enjoying tasty food and reflecting on thankfulness. I will be traveling as well, visiting my in-laws in Aurora. Because I will be traveling, you will not be hearing from me next Friday in Pip's Perspective, or seeing me in worship on Sunday the 27th. I will still be holding a movie night on the 27th (more about that below). 

Recently a member of the community sent us an email telling us that as they were researching for something- they found an article that spoke of our church having POWWOWS! I was intrigued and asked if they would share the article. The article is from Chicago Daily Tribune, dated Feb 11, 1940 and speaks of the gathering of “Indian braves with their squaws and papooses from 12 tribes” at Broadway Methodist Church.

Today, in the US, it is Veteran’s Day. Whether or not we each agree with individual wars or war as concept at all, I think it’s important that we recognize those who have served in the armed forces.
