Food Pantry Collection for November
Thanksgiving foods!
Feeding the hungry is an important ministry, taught by Christ. Each month we focus on collecting a different food item to help stock a local food pantry's shelves. For the month of November we'll be collecting all the non-perishable foods you might put on your Thanksgiving table. When we do our "Turkey Drive" on Nov. 23rd all of our collection will be donated to the Center For Food Action.

Prayer Meeting & Lunch
Wednesdays, beginning at noon
Our prayer meeting is a brief time of structured prayer based on "The Great Litany" - to remember our world, our community, our loved ones, our enemies and ourselves before God - followed by a time when we can share individual concerns with each other and God.
The meeting is at noon and is followed by a brown bag lunch, meaning "bring your own." The church will provide water and coffee for beverages. All are welcome!
Choir Rehearsal

Our choir sings weekly from Sept. - June and their musical offerings add such meaning to our worship! If you love to sing, the choir would love to have you with them!
Bible Study

On November 14th we will begin a 12 week series, getting to know "Old Testament Characters." We'll be learning about: Jonah, Hannah, Samuel, Abraham, King Saul and Esther just to name a few!
If you'd like to attend any or all of the sessions, please let Fran or Pastor know so that we can order a booklet for you.
Anointing for Healing
Sunday, November 24th
during worship
At the end of our worship service, all those who would like to receive a prayer of healing and anointing of their foreheads with oil are invited to come forward and receive a prayer and anointing by the pastor. Anointing with oil for healing is a practice handed down to us from the New Testament (Mark 6:13, James 5:14).
