Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Westside Food Pantry
on Sunday, October 25 at St. John’s in Southwest Harbor!
Dean Henry will be speaking at both services, with a festive coffee hour fellowship following the 10:00 am service. Proceeds from non-pledged donations on this day will go to the Westside Food Pantry. Please join us in marking the cooperative sharing of the Westside communities and St. Andrew and St. John Episcopal Church!

What we discover is that we are BOTH!”

Coffee’s On Planning Meeting: One of the highlights of last winter was the warm and pleasant time we spent with Island seniors aged 60 to 90 at “Coffee’s On” every first and third Tuesday of the month at the Maine Sea Coast Mission. The Mission is happy to be able to offer this program once again from this upcoming November through April 2016. And I am pleased to report that Ruth Grierson will again be providing our toe-tapping background music. You are invited to a breakfast meeting at the Mission, 127 West St., Bar Harbor, on October 20th at 9 AM to plan for the upcoming season. Please call Terri Rodick at 288-5097 and let her know if you are coming to the meeting or if you have any suggestions.
The Window Dressers’ Project fabricates thousands of window inserts in communities across Maine to help weatherize homes, keep vulnerable residents warmer, reduces greenhouse gases and lower fossil fuel costs. The MDI Community Build will be October 12-16 at Bar Harbor Congregational Church. Volunteers will gather to assemble and finish window inserts fabricated by Window Dressers in Rockland. If you can help for part of this time, please contact Pastor Rob Benson or Tony St. Denis at Bar Harbor Congregational, 288-3280.
Singing for Those at the End of Life: Saturday, October 24, 8:30-4:00 at Maple Hill Farm, Hallowell. Kathy Leo, founding member of the Hallowell Singers, will be the keynote speaker. Don’t miss this great opportunity to expand your knowledge and resources to establish and nurture a bedside singing group. Network and sing with others who comfort and support the ill and dying at bedside through music and song. FYI: www.harboursingers.org
Begin the Conversation: Sundays, October 25 and November 1, 3:00-4:40 p.m., Seaport Village (adjacent to The Moore Center), 125 State Street, Ellsworth. Some things should not go unsaid, like your wishes for end-of-life care. Come break the silence with hospice volunteers Barbara Sinclair and Gerry Gregersen, who are offering a two-week class. Participants will explore views, attitudes, and fears about death and the dying process as well as learn how to talk with loved ones about end-of-life decisions. They will also consider medical advance directives, medical agents and tools to help honor individual values and beliefs. Pre-registration is required. Call Barbara at 664-2488.
At Home Mount Desert Island, a program of Washington Hancock Community Agency, is a member-based, volunteer supported program designed to provide older residents of Mount Desert Island with core services, empowering them to continue to live independently in their homes for as long as they are able. Responding to members’ requests for services across Mount Desert Island is based on the willingness of residents of all towns on Mount Desert Island to volunteer. You may obtain information regarding volunteering from Program Manager, Kara Janes at 374-5852 or kjanes@whcacap.org
