Announcements for December 4th
No flowers for Advent
The Annual Meeting is set for December 4th, immediately following the worship service.
Beginning Wednesday, November 30, Pastor Mark will lead an Advent Bible Study on Wednesdays at 10:30, both in person in the Sunday school building and on Zoom. We will be studying the Gospel of Luke, beginning with the story of the Nativity. All are welcome!
The new year is a good time to consider how each of us can help our church through various service opportunities: altar guild, Children’s Church, communion assistant, lector, usher. If you currently serve in any of these positions, thank you. If you’d like to volunteer for any of these jobs, please email or leave a message at the church office indicating which jobs you are willing to do.
The cleaning chart for 2023 is posted in the Education Building.
