English Ministry News and Notes 11-17-13

• We welcome back Becca Cramer as today’s guest preacher!
• Celebrating Stewardship Response Card – You are receiving a Celebrating Stewardship Response Card in the Messenger today. This is an annual practice we have to nurture intentionality in how we live out our membership vows in terms of our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. Please take the card home with you and prayerfully complete. We will offer them to God on Thanksgiving Sunday.
• What are you Thankful for? Besides the Stewardship card that can be found with the Bulletin, there is a leaf –shaped piece of paper for you to lift up your thanks in 25 words or less (this includes your name, or you can be anonymous). Put them in to the collection plate, and they will be shared in next week’s Thanksgiving Messenger bulletin.
• Thanksgiving Parallel Worship & Gratitude Potluck – We will celebrate Thanksgiving on Sunday, Nov. 24th, with worship beginning at 9:30 a.m. in the Annex. Worship will be followed by a gratitude potluck. For those with last names ending in A-M: please bring a main/meat dish to share. For those with last names ending in N-Z: please bring a side/veggie dish to share. The church will provide the dessert.
• Adventure in Faith Chapel – You are invited to participate in this vital ministry of sharing faith with our Homework Club students. Chapel will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 20th with a gather time of 1:30 p.m. For more information, please connect with Donna or Becky.
