FEATURED ANNOUNCEMENTS

1. Food For Hope - Urgent Need


The youth have received an urgent request from the JOCO Adult Corrections Ministry for 10 Food For Hope bags. The youth will be building these bags on Sunday, November 19th and they will be picked up on Monday. Items that they need: Beef Jerky, Mini cereal boxes, Trail Mix, Granola Bars and Peanut Butter.

2. Pajamas, Hats & Gloves oh my!
This year we will be partnering with Whittier Elementary School in Kansas City, Kansas by sponsoring a First grade class and providing NEW warm pajamas, hats and gloves. The students that attend Whittier are all from low & very low income families. Many of them also make use of the services offered by Bethel Neighborhood Center. We are hoping to have children's names shortly so you can buy for a specific child or you can just buy boys or girls pajamas sizes 4T - child XL and child size hat & gloves. Watch next week's Be In The Know for more info.
3. Congregational Business Meeting - Wednesday, December 13th at 6:30 p.m. in Fellowship Hall. We will review the year, look to 2018 and vote on the budget & 2018 Diaconate.

If you attend the first service drop it in the offering plate as it goes by. If you attend the second service you can put the Connect Card in the offering boxes at the back of the Sanctuary. For those of you who regularly fill them out - THANK YOU!
