Announcements – December 6, 2015
Agape Meal, Sunday, December 6: We
will be enjoying an Agape Meal after the worship service in the downstairs
cafeteria.
Christmas Outreach (60 x 60): This year our Christmas outreach
efforts will combine a local and global emphasis. For the local outreach we
will be cooperating with a Christian non-profit called "The Forgotten
Initiative" to put together "Journey Bags" for kids in the
foster system in Sherburne County. For the global outreach we will be
cooperating with Operation Christmas Child. For details about this outreach,
please contact Julie Springfield at julie.springfield@comcast.net. The goal for each of
these outreaches is to provide 60 Journey Bags and 60 shoeboxes.
Women’s Ministry: This spring for the Women's Retreat
we are so excited to be having Kathy Stokes from Bethlehem Baptist Church to be
our speaker. We have decided to do a little fundraising in order to be
able to compensate her and keep the cost of the retreat down so that many
ladies will be able to attend. We wanted to let you know that this Sunday
we will be having various canned goods for sale that would make wonderful
presents or delicious treats. Please take a look! We will also be
taking orders for homemade pies or pumpkin cookies for Christmas.
Friday Morning
Prayer Meeting: Please join us
for an hour of prayer on Friday mornings from 6:00-7:00 a.m. at the church
office. Women should bring at least one other person with them so that we can
honor the Lord by maintaining appropriate boundaries. If you are unable to stop
by the church office, feel free to join in wherever you are.
Christmas Eve Service: Our Christmas Eve service will be held at the
Handke on December 24 from 4:30-6:00 p.m.
Next Week’s Fighter Verse:
Behold! I tell
you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will
sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed

Corinthians 15:51-52
