Cards and Notes of Encouragement Remember those in nursing homes, rehab centers and our homebound during this Thanksgiving season. Take a moment to send them a card or note of encouragement to let them know they are being thought of.
The altar arrangement today is in thanksgiving to God for all the blessings He gives to each of us. Our faith has grown through the challenges of 2020 as we learned to lean more and more on Him, and we praise Him for that; His mercies are new every morning. ..Bill & Gail Birdsong “Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise! Give thanks to Him; bless His name! Psalm 100:4
Administrative Office will be closed Wednesday, November 25 All Church Offices will be closed for Thanksgiving Thursday-Friday November 26-27
Christmas Card Express November 15 – December 13 We will be doing Christmas cards this year although it will be different. Please note that you can begin to drop off your cards at Church today and the last day to drop them off will be December 13th. This year we will not pass out cards during Church. We will be placing all cards in bags for each family in the gym and they will be given out prior to Christmas. We wanted to continue this ministry as it is enjoyed by so many. We understand there may be some who may not feel safe to participate and we understand those concerns. If you let Stacy Ayscue or Teresa Walker know we will withhold your cards. We hope that this will bring smiles to our Church family in these trying times all while remembering the real reason for the Christmas season.
Operation Christmas Child Filled boxes for Operation Christmas Child should be returned TODAY. If you have not turned in your box, please make sure it is at the church ready to be picked up tomorrow morning.
