MISSION OUTREACH PROJECT If you would like to go to Sister Jean's Kitchen on Friday, December 22nd, please let the Pastor know. A group will be going to serve lunch and take up some coats and blankets collected for the homeless. If you have a blanket, coat or any other piece of warm clothing, please bring it to the church so it can be donated. HOSPITALITY NIGHTS Our church is going to be a hospitality center again for MAC's Candlelight Tours. We need your help in making cookies. The BYF will serve between 1000 and 1500 people each night! Can you help by donating a batch or two of cookies? If you prefer to just make the dough, the youth group will do the baking! Just include final baking directions with your donation and THANK YOU! NOMINATING COMMITTEE The Nominating committee is meeting at the home of Carol Boyd on December 12th at 7:00 PM. Please prayerfully consider potential candidates to serve on various boards of our church. If you would like to serve, please speak to Pastor Jim or another member of the committee. CONGRATULATIONS! Donna Barnes was elected to the Board of Directors of Explorer Girls, Inc. for a three year term starting 2007. She is very excited to be serving the Lord in this new capacity and asks for prayers that the Holy Spirit will guide her in decisions impacting this wonderful ministry to girls.
