POINSETTIA ORDER: This year we will be working with Perino’s to order poinsettias. Please fill out the form in the narthex. You can return the form to Briana, Emily, or Evelyn. Perino’s is offering us a discounted price for an early order at $10 for the standard 6.5” flower. Orders need to be submitted no later than 11/24. They will be delivered on 12/13 for pick up on 12/15.

ANGEL TREE: Reminder that your angels are due back on 12/8. You can team up with another member or have one of our little elves to shop for you.

Christian ED: Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds, the Kings, you.  What do these people have in common?  They all have a place at the Manger.  This Advent, Rev. Jan Condren will lead us in a study of the people in the manger scene, and help us to use them as a guide to find our own place at the manger. Lessons can be obtained from Briana, or at the first class.  See you there!!

PROGRAM OF HOPE: We are volunteering to help out at First Presbyterian Church in November. For more information please talk with Sue Crawford.

MUSIC: We didn’t get enough handbell volunteers to do our scheduled piece on 11/17. Handbells will play again on 12/15 with a rehearsal on 12/1 after the service; if you can read rhythms, please consider playing! Let Kelly know if you’d like to participate!

THANKSGIVING WORSHIP: Our brothers and sisters at the Chinese Presbyterian Church have invited us to their traditional Thanksgiving Day Breakfast at 8:30am and the following 9:30am Worship Service. Dress is casual and the service is an abbreviated worship service during which they thank God for the many blessings he bestows on us. They hope to see some of us there.
