As always, check our website for the latest information.

Operation Christmas Child: It’s time to pack shoeboxes! Look for information, suggestion sheets, brochures, preprinted shoeboxes from Samaritan’s Purse, and a donations box in the Narthex. Dates to remember: Nov. 6 – Shoebox packing activity during the Sunday School hour; Nov. 13 – Final day to bring home-packed shoebox gifts. Boxes will be blessed during worship. The third week in November is national collection week. Project organizers Carolyn Jones, Jennifer Simis, and Janice Wriedt thank you for your continued support for this annual outreach event.

Honoring Our Veterans: Please help us update our list of Advent veterans so we can recognize and honor them on Nov. 13. You are invited to review and revise the list posted on the bulletin board across from the mailboxes. Consider adding names and service information about members of your family: spouse, parents, siblings, children, and grandchildren. Questions? Contact Carolyn F. Jones cmfpjones@yahoo.com

Thanksgiving Baskets: On Sunday, Nov. 20, Advent will assemble and deliver Thanksgiving Baskets to several families. Please select an item or items from the turkey display in the Narthex and bring it to church by Sunday, Nov. 13. Thrivent has allocated $250 for this event.
