noon.
CHOIR CLUB
● The Choir Club will suspend their meetings after this
Thursday, 11/21, and will resume once again after Christmas.
SHARING SHEPHERDS
● It’s that time of year again! Sharing Shepherds will be
delivering gifts on Saturday Dec 14th. Please see the sign up
sheet on the bulletin board if you wish to “adopt” a child this
Christmas. This is an easy way to show your love for Christ by
putting a smile on children’s faces that are in need. Please see
Nicole Hurst for more details and with any questions.
UPCOMING EVENTS and WORSHIP SERVICES
● A Service of Thanksgiving will be held on Wednesday
evening, November 27th, at 7:00 PM. Communion Assistants are
needed for this service. Please see Pastor Matt if you can serve.
● Advent midweek dinners and services will begin on
Wednesday, December 4th; with dinner at 6:00 PM and Advent

sign-up sheets on the bulletin board to contribute to these

at 6:30 PM, and will continue for subsequent Tuesday evenings.
All are welcome and encouraged to attend!
GRACE FAMILY CHRISTMAS TREE
● Once again, Grace’s Family Christmas Tree will reappear in
the Fellowship Hall during the Advent and Christmas season.
This tree is decorated with special ornaments given by each
family at Grace. If you’re new to our congregation this past
year, please bring an ornament to place on the tree, include
your name; we look forward each year to seeing the tree grow
with decorations representing our Grace family!
PANTRY ITEMS NEEDED!
● Our Pantry Box, located outside the lower entrance, is being
used; that’s a good thing! However, to keep it stocked, non-
perishables are desperately needed! Please help to keep it
available by bringing any of the following: canned meats,
canned vegetables, fruit cups, instant oatmeal packets, granola
bars and the like. Your gifts have a huge impact on our local
community.
