ANNOUNCEMENTS

The church office will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 25.  The bulletin will be printed on Tuesday, Nov. 23.

A Congregational Meeting is planned for Sunday, Dec. 5 at 6:00 PM.  The Pastoral Search Team will be going over the congregational assessment that we took over the summer as well as the pastoral job description.   

We are looking for another teacher for the primary department.  This could be a full year commitment, or for a few months at a time if you prefer.  We are also in need of some subs for when our regular teachers are not available.  Please let Cathy Fellers or Katrina Hasbrouck know if this is something you would be willing to help out with.

If there is anyone who would like a page in the church directory or would like to update their page, please let Rin Bontrager know in the next few weeks.

Food donations during November will go to the Salvation Army.

Please hand in your annual reports for the 2020-21 church year.

Pointing to the Promise – an Advent study for women will be starting Monday, Nov. 22, 6:30-8:00 PM at the church. 

Women’s Fellowship Christmas Tea - Dec. 7 at 6:00 PM – Bring a finger food to share.  Timberly Tree Farm will lead us in creating a Christmas decoration.  We are also looking for volunteers to help decorate a table setting for the tea.  If you are interested in helping with this, please contact Marty Diller, Kay Large or Rachel Oswald.
