2020 Offering Envelopes are in the narthex. Thank you for picking them up promptly.
The 2020 flower chart is up on the bulletin board. We would love to have some of the January spots filled to start the new year off with beautiful flowers for the altar.
Looking for a way to serve? We need people to serve Sunday morning coffee at 9:45 am for Jan. The sheet is posted on the bulletin board.
Everyone is invited to come to the fellowship hall before education hour for coffee. Two Sundays a month (the Sundays there are no communion) there are coffee and treats and a free-will offering is taken for a special need.
Silent Auction Items Needed. The NYG 2022 youth are having a silent auction during trivia night on January 11. We are looking for items to have available for participants to bid on. If you are a crafter/artist or have something of interest you’d like to donate, please contact Carla Murphy or Thomas Wilson. Deadline is Jan. 2, 2020.
ATTENTION PARENTS: Starting Wednesday, January 8th Midweek will start at 5:00 pm and end at 6:00 pm. This change will last the remainder of the school year.
Our 3rd annual trivia night is coming soon (January 11th). It’s time to form your teams and pick a team captain. Team captains can sign up at the table in the back, where they will receive their instructions and share the important details with their teams. If you would like to play, but don’t have a team, you can put your name on the waiting list. If you have a team but need some more players to fill your table of 8, you can check the waiting list for available players. Please note this does not guarantee placement. Proceeds benefit the National Youth Gathering in 2022. Contact Matt & Janelle Wegner or Jeff and DeAnn Barnes with any questions.
The Book to Know group will meet Jan.16th, 7:00 pm, at Adele Knop’s home to discuss “Angels Walking” by Karen Kingsbury. Everyone is invited to read this book and join us for the discussion.
