Cathy Green helped with our recent road clean-up. We had 12 of us clean the two miles of roadway for fall 2023. Many hands together made it happen!

This past Sunday was our 5th Sunday Music Sunday. Ron Miller coordinated an awesome
program, including the Men’s Choir who performed a moving piece. We have such a vibrant choir who worked diligently on several musical numbers. The numbers are also featured this week on our Bluff Point United Methodist Church public Facebook page.
Thanksgiving will be here soon- speaking of Thanksgiving, per our tradition BPUMC always rings the bell in front of TOPS market in Penn Yan the day before Thanksgiving. This year that date happens to be on Wednesday 11/22. See Joyce Wiedrich to sign up for an hour shift. Some of us sing Christmas carols as we ring in the season! The bell-ringing raised funds are all for Yates County Christmas, started by Floyd Tillman years back. This program gives toys, clothing and gift certificates to families with need, to assure all will have gifts at Christmas.
Do you like to knit? We will be needing your hand knit hats, mittens and scarves (or store bought ones as well) for our Mitten Tree we will put up in early December. We will also have an Angel tree for a selected Yates County family. It is a busy time of year, and we have always generously supported these missions.
The Keith Hardy memorial front Portico dedication will be on November 19th. This addition has added to the beauty and functionality of our church.
Bible Study resumes in November. We will be watching and then doing a Bible Study based on the film It’s A Wonderful Life. Did you know there is a nearby It’s a Wonderful Life Museum, and also an annual festival in Seneca Falls where some of the stars who were young children at the time return to participate? The Frank Capra film is said to have been based on Seneca Falls, as Mr. Capra often visited an aunt in Auburn, NY. This should be a very interesting Bible Study, and we all like Jimmy Stewart! All welcome to attend.
Please come worship with us 9a Sundays! We have had several recent visitors and hope they will continue to worship with us!
