Announcements
Be
mindful that the few minutes before the service are set aside to help prepare
for worship. Some use this time to pray
or meditate on the call to worship or just be quiet before the Lord. Let’s keep our visiting before the service to
a minimum – or better, let’s wait until after the service.
This year’s
Missions Project is collecting items for our local food pantry on Franklin Ave.
Your gifts of canned and packaged non-perishable food items, such as tuna,
mayo, soups, canned beef stew, jelly, spaghetti, etc. can be brought in during
the month of December, for delivery before Christmas. Thank you in advance for your generosity. – Dewey
Missionary Society
Be praying
with the Nominating Committee as it works to prepare a slate of candidates to
be considered for office at the Annual Meeting in February 2017. To submit names, see Olive, Fred or Derek.
Our morning
worship services will commemorate the season with candles, readings, banners,
and special messages. This year’s theme
is ‘What Child Is This?’ and will
explore some familiar details of the Nativity stories and how they help prepare
us for Christ’s death and resurrection.
Also, special thanks to Carol Allen for designing and painting this
year’s Advent banners!
