Pastor's Page	Dear Friends, It is hard to believe that October is now upon us. As the weather grows cooler and the days grow shorter, we are reminded of the changes that each new season brings. At the end of the month we will celebrate Reformation Sunday. One of the slogans of the reformation was “reformed and always reforming.”  That same phrase could also be translated: “reformed and always being reformed.” God is continually at work in the church working to re-form us into the Body of Christ. Change is naturally a part of such re-formation. One change will come in the form of a congregational meeting at the end of October, during which you as a congregation will elect new officers for 2009. The session voted to make this change in order to allow time for new and returning officers to receive some training that will help them answer this calling and give them more information and tools to use in their service in the church. This training will enable them be to be ordained, commissioned and installed in January. The annual congregational meeting will be held on February 22, 2009, allowing time for year-end reports to be compiled and information to be distributed ahead of the meeting. Of course, these changes and others are part of a larger change on the horizon, the calling of new installed pastoral leadership for MUPC. Please continue to pray for the Pastor Nominating Committee, the candidates, this congregation, and me. By the grace of God, may we all be found faithful as God seeks to form and re-form us as the Body of Christ. Grace and peace, Ellen A word about office hours: Ordinarily, I am in McConnellsburg on Sundays,  Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I am always glad to see you when you drop by the office.
