REQUESTED ANNOUNCMENTS:
In your bulletins, you will find slips of colored paper. On these slips, you are encouraged to write items for which you are thankful, so that “we may show we are thankful to God for all he has done for us, and so that he may be praised through us” (Heidelberg Catechism, Q&A 86). The slips, once completed, can be deposited in the basket in the narthex. You may sign your name, or leave it anonymous. You can fill out as few or as many slips as you would like. These items of thanksgiving will be compiled, and printed in the bulletin on Thanksgiving Day, as a testimony of our gratitude to the Lord. We are looking for four volunteers to read Scripture at our Thanksgiving Day service! If you are willing to help in this way, please sign up on the sheet in the back. Thank you!
Thanksgiving is coming up soon! If there is any interest in a Thanksgiving Day potluck meal in the church basement after the service, please let Lori Bolluyt or Pam Foss know this week.
