YOUNG ADULT PARENT’S MEETINGS

The Young Adult Parent’s Fellowship/Study Group will be meeting tonight in room 21 from 6-7:30p.m. and they’re in a brand new series on a book entitled, “Parenting Isn’t for Cowards” by Dr. James Dobson, the founder of Focus On the Family. These meetings are for any and all parents with children still living at home. Adult supervision is provided for children 2 years of age and up, and nursery care is available as needed. Those who are able to attend should read chapter 4 in advance.

 

OUR CANDLELIGHT CHRISTMAS DINNER

Emily Gilliland is working with Don & Patti Spiegel to prepare for our Candlelight Christmas Dinner which will be held next Sunday night at 6 p.m. The menu will include ham, meatballs, cheesy potatoes, vegetables and the beverages. There won’t be any charge for this great meal but they are asking each family unit to bring a salad or a dessert. Please feel free to invite your family, or anyone else you’d like to bring along. To help us with the set up and food preparation, the sign-ups will be going through this morning. All we’ll need is your family name and the number in your party.

 

CHRISTMAS AT C.C.C.

Besides the Candlelight Christmas Dinner, Pastor Bill will be sharing three Christmas related message with us on December 10th, 17th and on the 24th, which will be Christmas Eve Day. Those messages will be “Honoring the Lord”, “Wisemen Still Seek Him” and “The Birth of Our King”. We hope that you can join us for all of these services, as we celebrate the birth of our Redeemer. And, while we’re at it, let’s invite some other folks to join us.

 

M.P. FUNDRAISER

Mission Possible is now operating at a $16,000 per month deficit. In an effort to help them out, Janice Karcher and some of her family members are providing a variety of food items and an assortment of gift items for our donations, at our kitchen pass through window after our services. A list of some of those items, along with their suggested donations, has been posted on our bulletin board. Checks should be written to the church, with Mission Possible on the note line.

 

GIVING HOPE

Open Door has a goal of raising $50,000 during this holiday season, to benefit the work they do for Wyandot County families. Contributions can be made at www.opendoor.org/donate  or by calling 419-209-6736 to make a pledge. A $50 gift will provide enough food to feed 4 families for up to 3 days and a $100 gift may help a struggling family pay their rent or retain their essential utilities during a short term crisis.

 

FINAL NOTES & REMINDERS

1. Communion will be part of our service this morning so don’t forget to pick up one of the

    prepacked units as you enter.

2. The Alphabetized boxes have  been  placed  in  our  front  hallway to  make it easier and

      more economical for us to share Christmas cards with each other. Please check to see if            you’ve got mail each Sunday.

3. Janice Karcher’s M.P. Fundraiser Effort has already raised $787 for the cause.

4. New Vision FM received $108,827 in faith-promise commitments and gifts during their

   recent Sharathon.
