Stewardship
Please be praying about what you will give in the coming year. You will receive your pledge cards next Sunday. Plan to return them on November 22, Christ the King Sunday. Also, consider giving an extra donation before the end of the year to cover church expenses. We are currently spending more than we have been given.
Mission of the 4th Quarter
Operation Christmas Child (OCC), a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse, is our mission of the fourth quarter. Thank you for all who gave. We have surpassed our goal of $480 to pay for the shipping! Extra funds will be available to buy items on sale during the year so we can be better prepared for next year. We packed 48 boxes on October 16. Thank you, Melissa Johnson, for doing a great job organizing this ministry, and thank you to everyone who gave, donated items, and helped to pack the boxes.
