Announcements:
QUILTERS: We will meet at 10 a.m. Thursday, November 21, for quilting. We will break for lunch (bring a sack lunch) and will have our monthly meeting at 1 p.m. New faces are always welcome.
HOPE Gift Market– It’s not too late! If you were not here last Sunday, extra forms are on the credenza, so you can contribute to the charity that speaks to your heart.
Thanksgiving Baskets of Plenty Sunday, November 24, is the Thanksgiving Food In-Gathering for Bethesda Community Food Pantry. Cash donations and food items will be placed on the altar.
Suggested food item: food which can be sent home with children for the Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks. Many children only have the meal they get at school and during breaks they may not have anything.
There are still a few Angels left on the Angel Tree in the fellowship hall. Please stop by to help make a Merry Christmas for a local child in need.
If you are leaving town for the winter, please let the office know your winter address so we can send the Epistle and other mailings to you.

Wednesday morning Bible study will conclude on November 20. We meet from 10:30-11:30am on Wednesday. Please read chapters 34-36 of Numbers for the next session. Everyone is invited to bring a treat for our final week.
The Praise Team is in great need of keyboard volunteers. If you can help out, please talk to Joan Ingwersen.
The Concordia Self-Study Bible will be permanently out of print soon. The Concordia Self-Study Bible (CSSB) provides the older version of the NIV Bible (1984) translation with Zondervan’s NIV Study Bible notes, modified by Lutheran Bible scholars. We encourage you to this Bible now. Concordia is offering an alternative: The Lutheran Study Bible. See the Concordia website for details. www.cph.org
NEEDED: Nursery volunteers for both the 8:30 service and 9:45 Sunday School hour. We cannot continue to rely on the same few people month after month. Please consider taking one hour a month. Our children and parents need you!
The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign will be starting soon. If you are interested in volunteering, contact the Bell Ringing Coordinator at 233-3567 or go to the website www.ringames.org.
2014 Offering envelopes are ready to pick up. See the tables in the west entryway.
Time to start collecting gently used winter coats and bedding. Also need new knit hats and gloves and underwear. Keep bringing shoes-new, old, worn and smelly. They take them all. The good ones go to the HOPE ministry thrift shop and the others are recycled.
