Chat - 11/21/13

It's been a busy week around here, and I am guessing things won't be slowing down anytime soon.

This Sunday, November 24, the day will begin with Sunday school at 9:00.  Worship follows at 10:15.  The Cornucopia Offering will be collected during the service.  This offering benefits housing ministries.  Offering envelopes will be available in the pews.  Confirmation will meet at 5:00, with Youth Fellowship at 6:00.  The community is invited to attend a gathering for Celebration of Thanksgiving & Praise to God at 6:30 p.m. that will be held at the Chestnut Ridge Mennonite, 14366 Church Rd. Orrville.

On Wednesday the choirs will rehearse.

The office will be closed on Thursday and Friday.

Reminders:

  • If you haven't turned in your Estimate of Giving card it's not too late.  Bring it to worship with you and place it in the offering plate.
  • We still need volunteers to help with the Living Nativity and ringing the Salvation Army bell.  Sign-up sheets are on the office bulletin board.
  • We are collecting hats and gloves to send to South Dakota.  All donations need to be in by December 15. 
  • Donations are being collected for Military Christmas boxes.  Some suggested items needed are: individually wrapped candy, microwave popcorn, peanuts, dry powder mixes, coffee, tea, sugar, canned goods/soups, beef jerky, granola bars, peanut butter, dried fruits, hand sanitizers, wet wipes, Kleenex, Chap Stick, extra wash cloths and hand towels, all sizes of batteries, baggies, cards, blank greeting cards, videos, DVD's, recently published books, magazines, comics, puzzle books, sunscreen, Duct tape, Bungee cords.
  • Looking for the perfect gift for someone who already has everything?  Make a donation to the Costa Rica house build in honor of someone.  Gift cards are available, and a table will be set up in the gathering area.
