We hope to see you at worship this Sunday when we will celebrate the 26th Sunday after Pentecost. This week's message will center on "Knowing God, Trusting God, Honoring God." The last Sunday in November will be aWe Are The Sermon (WATS) Sunday.
PRAYERS FOR THE PARISH
will not be held this Tuesday. Please pray for the parish and our presence and impact on our communities "Prayer doesn't prepare us for the battle. Prayer IS the battle."
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
reports that we have approximately 90 boxes filled. Well done! They will be blessed Sunday morning and delivered to the collection site next week. Thank you to all who contributed. If you signed up for $7.00 boxes, please bring your packed boxes to church this coming Sunday. Directions can be found at the Samaritan's Purse website.
CHRISTMAS PAGEANT
Many thanks to Kimberley Langston for stepping forward to direct the pageant this year. We need volunteers of all ages to be in the pageant. Please sign up to be a part of the fun if you will be in town on Dec. 22nd!
OUR ANNUAL PARISH MEETING
will be held today immediately following our Sunday worship service. A soup and sandwich lunch will be served. We will be electing three vestry members, and hearing about the exciting life of this wonderful church. Please plan now to stay for the meeting.
VESTRY NOMINEES
include Steve Coates, Zita Collins, Ben Langston, and Haika Owenya. A Bio sheet is available in the Annual Parish Meeting booklet.
SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST: Please keep Cate R. and daughter Eliza in your daily prayers. Cate was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and will be having surgery on Wednesday (postponed from last week). Let's be thinking how we can support Cate during her recovery.
