SPECIAL OFFERINGS: +CORA: 118 items taken this week.

The Annual Meeting of the Congregation will be held following worship on Sunday, December 13 to approve the Pastor's Terms of Call for 2010.

Today we will begin the season of Advent with the Greening of the Church. On this Sunday, children made decorations during Living Large at 10 am to place on the Advent tree in addition to the Chrismon ornaments.

The Children's Christmas Pageant is not too far away! The pageant will be held during worship on Sunday, December 20. The morning's rehearsal/practice will begin at 9:00 with light refreshments, practice, and dress rehearsal. All people who are participating should be present for the practice. Costume pickup will be on Saturday, December 12, from 10:00-11:00AM. Jenny Megginson and Meredith Philipps will assist families in selecting costumes. We ask that if you have a child participating that you consider playing a part, too! Sign-up sheets will be available.

More about the Baby Kits. During this workshop rotation, our children will be asked to bring items for the Baby Kits they will wrap to ship to a newborn during the December 27 workshop. The children may bring items anytime between November 8 and December 27. We will also ask our congregation if they would like to help with this project.
