THERE'S STILL TIME:
2015 ESTIMATE OF GIVING
In case you missed Gratitude Sunday November 16, our Finance leadership would be very grateful if everyone who plans to significantly change their giving for 2015 would complete an Estimate of Giving form so they can work up the new budget.
If you prefer, simply give Financial Secretary Robert Fisher a call and let him know. Otherwise an Estimate of Giving form is located in the church entry. Please consider our responsibility and need for due diligence and turn in your estimate. Remember, as your financial conditions change through the year, a simple confidential note or call to Robert is all that is needed. With thanksgiving for all you do!

TALENT PROJECT A SUCCESS
Once again, our Sunday School children were able to multiply their Talents beyond expectation. What a joy to see our young people and their families make such creative treasures and yummy goodies!
Thanks to your purchases at the Talent Sale and Noisy Collection donations, the Sunday School children will donate over $800 worth of clothes, toys and gift cards to the Community Christmas Basket Project.
"His master replied,
'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'"
Matthew 25:21
CHRISTMAS CAROLING
SUNDAY AFTERNOON, DEC. 21
We will gather at 3pm at the church (yes, earlier than usual so more folks can participate). We will carol at Samaritan Village in the Dining Room at 5pm, but before that we will do our best to get by to carol for a few of our shut-in members.
CANDLELIGHT DINNER, 5:30PM
SUNDAY, DEC. 14
CHRISTMAS PAGEANT, 7PM
SUNDAY, DEC. 14
The time is fast approaching! So sign up at the Information Desk for this year’s festive Candlelight Dinner. Tickets must be purchased in advance. Adults $14; Children (8 & younger) $7. Host/esses are needed to decorate tables. This is a great dinner to invite extended family and friends! The program for the evening is the Sunday School Christmas Pageant that follows at 7pm. And it is THE highlight of the year!! Don’t miss out. Our young people have been working so hard and we got a sneak peek on Sunday, November 30 during Worship, and at the Community Thanksgiving Dinner when Austin and Brayden sang and invited everyone present to come.
CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICE
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 24 8PM
There is truly nothing quite like Christmas Eve worship. Carols, communion, a special time with the children, special music, and at the end, the lighting of candles out in the Gathering Center as we make a big circle and sing "Silent Night!" Come and make a memory with your loved ones.
