WHAT'S COMING UP
FOR PRIMETIME
Primetime is a church-based organization providing spiritual growth, service to others, and education. This program provides opportunities for social involvement and gives people a sense of community and support. Federated Church sponsors this program to help enrich the lives of its members and the wider community.
FEDERATED FORUM
SPEAKER SERIES
The Federated Forum meets on the second Monday of each month from September through June. It presents a diverse variety of interesting programs guaranteed to educate, entertain, challenge and even amuse those who attend.
We gather about 1:30 for "after-lunch" light refreshments and conversation. The programs start at 2 pm, always include a question & answer period, and conclude promptly at 3.
What is coming up next?
Monday, October 14
Presenter: Lori Muller-Zaim and Susann Sloan
Subject: Books that Changed the World
We are excited to have a presentation from one of our most cherished Chagrin Falls shops, the Fireside Book Shop. One of the owners, Lori Muller-Zaim, and her associate, Susann Sloan, will be discussing books that “changed the world.” We will also be introduced to some of the current bestsellers.
They will address the “next generation” and what the young people of today are reading. We may be surprised at what schools are actually choosing as required reading.
Of special interest for history buffs, they will talk about the history of the shop and of the local Chagrin business area. The Fireside Book Shop has been in existence for 56 years and it remains a cornerstone of the local shopping district.
Join us for a stimulating program of special local interest!

They are celebrating 10 years together by launching their "10th Anniversary Tour" for the 2019-2020 season.

PRIMETIME FUNDRAISER: Blind Squirrel Winery in Bainbridge
Wednesday, October 16
Meet at Blind Squirrel Winery: 7918 Pettibone Road
Come and wine down with us as we enjoy a tasting of three of their most popular wines. We will have appetizers, chicken marsala, pizza, salad and cookies. We will also have raffle prizes.
Bill and Cookie Delgado own the winery and they bought the property at a sheriff’s sale in 2015. Bill will tell us about how their love for wine brought about the Blind Squirrel Winery and all they had to go through to get it up and running. Through local winemakers and educators at Kent State and Ohio State Universities, they learned about wine making. Now, that they are wine educated, Bill, a retired teacher is going to test our wine knowledge through some wine trivia questions, so get your thinking caps on!
This fundraiser will help Primetime continue our mission to provide enriching opportunities for social involvement and a sense of community in our congregation and beyond.
Cost: $55 (includes dinner and wine tasting). Make checks payable to Federated Chruch.
RSVP to 440.247.6490 by October 7.

SEWING FOR HOSPICE

This group of women gather for chatting, laughing, coffee, oh and yes, very basic sewing for a very worthy cause.
They create pillows that patients at Hospice of the Western Reserve use as they journey through the final season of life. The little neck pillows are used for comfort. For hygienic reasons, the pillows are discarded after use so there is always a need for more.
The fellowship often includes some yummy treats. All are welcome.
