COZY COAT COLLECTION
Sunday school classes are collecting gently used coats in Men’s, Women’s and Children’s sizes during the month of November. Bring coats in good condition to church and put them in the baskets in the Narthex and we will collect and deliver them to our friends in need at the Neighborhood House. If you have hats, scarves and/or gloves that are in very good condition there will be a basket for them as well. It is our hope that each coat can be given with a hat, gloves, or scarf to match.
GRATITUDE JOURNAL PUMPKIN
For Fall Sunday School attendees have focused their prayers on giving thanks. One way we have done this is to write our thankful thoughts around our pumpkin. Check it out on the table in the Narthex through Thanksgiving. Feel free to add your prayer of thanks!!!
CHRISTMAS IN ODESSA YOUTH BAKE SALE
Sign up sheet for youth workers is on the table in the Narthex. Please encourage your middle or high schooler to come out and help set up, sell goods, and/or clean up. They will be supporting the upcoming youth mission trip and will enjoy some fun and fellowship as well!!!
If you are interested in donating baked goods for youth to sell there is a sign-up sheet on the table as well. The more baked goods the kids have the more money they can raise to help with Youth Rally expenses. Thank you in advance from the Youth!!!
FAMILY ADVENT EVENT
Please set aside an hour (9:45-1045) on Sunday November 25 and join your child on the lower level to help create devotions and visuals to support your family’s Advent preparations at home. The focus this year will be on the Advent Wreath with weekly devotions and scripture. We will be making wreaths with greens and accessories donated by the Corby family, McNelis family and the Holden Family. Wreath making can be tricky and young hands will need adult help. Kids will also be assembling a devotion guide to accompany the Advent Wreath and candles. We will be sharing a book about the Christmas star and have the opportunity to make sparkle slime to remind us of this special star and its part in the Christmas story. As it will also be Christ the King Sunday on the 25th, kids will be able to decorate a crown cut out.
If time allows there, will also be opportunities to make a Christmas Nativity picture and Family Advent Calendars will be distributed. (If not, pictures can be completed in Sunday School during the month of December.) Teachers will be in rooms to assist with activities. Kids and their family members will move between the Sunday School rooms to complete the activities.
