Hello everyone,
Don't forget the Men's Community Breakfast on Saturday, December 2, from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. It will be their usual fantastic breakfast buffet for only a donation. Come enjoy food and fellowship and support our men who do so much to support our church.
If you missed Brad and Fay Brooks' auction on Thanksgiving evening, you missed a treat. Their place was packed with generous folks who bought toys and clothing and donated it to Operation Christmas. Thanks to all who are helping make this Christmas merry for lots of needy children.
The Women of the Church will be selling poinsettias for $10 each in honor or in memory of someone. The poinsettias will be in the sanctuary on two Sundays, December 17th and 24th. You may take your poinsettia home with you on Christmas Eve. Please fill out the form included with your bulletin and place it with your check made to Women of the Church into the offering plate by December 10th.
Remember the Children's Christmas in the Family Life Building at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 9th. Santa will be here!
On Sunday, December 17th, the Sanctuary Choir will present their Christmas Cantata. We will also have our Christmas Potluck meal after worship.
Sunday, December 24th, we will celebrate Holy Communion during the worship service.
Advent begins on Sunday, December 3rd. My wish for you is that this Advent be less about Black Friday Deals and more about spending devotional time with the Lord.
Hope to see you in church on Sunday.

Pictures from youth group tonight. Youth took time to write down the stresses and worries of their lives and pray that God take them and help them through life. They then stuck them beside the cross and left them there signifying that God now has those troubles and worries! They don’t go away but they are easier to manage with God’s help! Lots of emotion, lots of praying for one another, lots of GOD moving and flowing! Love this group ! Pray for the young men and women as they navigate the stresses of being teenagers ! -James 4:8-10 ~ Matthew
