Our (Nov 24th) Thanksgiving offering will be shared by the RCAMA Food Pantry, Red Bird Mission and UM Community House in Grand Rapids.
The Food Pantry is an ecumenical ministry that serves hundreds of people including many children in our area. The pantry also provides special help at holiday times.
Red Bird Mission in Kentucky, guided by Jesus Christ, empowers individuals and advocates justice by providing spiritual, educational, health and community outreach ministries.
The UM Community House provides daycare, after-school counseling, tutoring and senior citizen services.
Support is also needed for United Methodist Students thru a Special Offering on Nov 24th.
This fund provides scholarships each year to 2,300 students including 500 seminary students. These scholarships help cover tuition, housing, books and other educational needs.
Nov 24 Hanging of the Greens
Christmas is just two months away — which means the hanging of the greens is just around the corner. We will be decorating the church for Christmas on Sunday, November 24. A light lunch will be available in the Fellowship Hall immediately following worship, and then we will begin decorating. There is a job for everyone, so please join us as we get our church ready for the Advent season.
November 28 Community Thanksgiving Dinner at Church 1 p.m. Whether you are in a household of one or ten, you are invited to join us for food and fellowship. Meat and table service will be provided. Everyone is welcome to bring a dish to pass. If you plan to attend, please sign up on the bulletin board in our Narthex by Monday, November 25, so we will know how much meat to provide. If you know what you intend to bring, please indicate on the sign-up so we can have a good balance of food.
Advent Study This year during Advent we will be doing a daily devotional entitled "The Living Nativity: Preparing for Christmas with Saint Francis." Books will be available for purchase for $10 and can be read on your own. We will also be focusing on this study in worship each week and will have opportunities for group study once a week. This will be during our regular Bible Study times, Wednesdays at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. We are also looking for persons who might be willing to lead a small group at the church or in their homes. If you would be willing to help please let Pastor Kristen know. Look for dates and times of group study to come soon.
