Be In The Know - November 9, 2017

FEATURED ANNOUNCEMENTS

1. Office Hours
The office will close by 2:30 on Friday, November 10 and Leann will be out of the office on Monday, November 13th.

2. Congregational Discussion Series
We continue our current discussion series on the topic of Welcoming & Inviting People to Church on 11/16 at 7:00 p.m. The last discussion will take place on November 30th.
Each of these meetings will be the same, so you don't need to come to all of them unless you would like to hear how each discussion goes, but do try to come to at least one.
2. All Church Thanksgiving & Outreach - Save the date: Sunday, November 19th for the All Church Thanksgiving Meal & Outreach. Here's how it will work: The first service folks will get things set up. When second service is over we will pack thanksgiving meals for the homeless and then sit down together to enjoy the meal ourselves. Second service folks will take care of cleaning up. The church will supply the turkey and the rest of the food will be potluck style with type of dishes assigned by last name. A-J side dishes; K-R desserts and S-Z salads

WORSHIP
Let Us Know...
Please be sure to fill out a Connect Card each week to let us know you were at church and how the staff can be praying for you. 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!
