TODAY the children will take the cookies they made yesterday to the nursing homes. Parents are encouraged to make this a family activity.

NO POT LUCK next Sunday. We will resume in January.

MINISTRY- Each week we will highlight one of our homebound or older members to assist you in contacting them. We encourage you to send them a note or card. Gertie Mitchell: Call the church office for the address.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT MEALS will start again in January.

FOOD PANTRY - Always check the food labels for the expiration date. The children’s home will not accept outdated food.

PANTRY NEEDS: Peanut Butter, Jelly, Dried Beans, Macaroni & Cheese, Instant Potatoes, Powdered Milk

DON’T FORGET your items that you want to send to the thrift store in Springfield. If you can, put things in boxes and then put them in the storage building to the east of the mini-auditorium.

NEW TELEPHONE DIRECTORIES—There are new telephone lists on the back table. Please take one and use this opportunity to correct your address and telephone number. Please make note on your attendance card or let the office know of corrections as soon as possible. We need to have your mailing address and telephone number so you can be easily contacted. This list will then go to Color Craft in order to schedule and remind you of the sitting appointments for the new pictorial directory coming in February.

THANKS TO Joy Holloway, Vicki Robertson and Vicki’s mom for our beautiful holiday decorations.

REMINDER: When calling the church building call 255-0033 and when mailing anything to the church use P.O. Box 791.

Just think…...Of stepping on shore and finding it Heaven!
Of taking hold of a hand and finding it God’s Hand!
Of breathing a new air and finding it celestial air!
Of feeling invigorated and finding it immortality!
Of passing from storm and tempest to an unbroken calm;
Of waking up and finding yourself home!
