Radiant Youth Silent Pie Auction: Radiant Youth is putting on their annual Speed the Light Pie
Auction next Sunday, October 26th at 6pm. They are still in need of some volunteers to bake pies for
this event. And could also use a few more donations. If you would be willing to donate some kind of
service such as snow plowing, painting, cleaning, etc. Please sign up at the designated table in the
narthex! For any questions please see Pastor Chad.
Annual Business Meeting: All members and regular attendees of Holland First are asked to be in
attendance for the Business Meeting on Sunday, October 26 at 6pm. Members will be voting in two
deacons. Other important information will be covered as well. Plus Radiant Youth will be hosting
their Silent Pie Auction to raise funds for Speed The Light. Note: NO Life Groups will meet this
Sunday due to the business meeting.
Absentee Ballots: If you are a member of Holland First and are unable to attend the Business
Meeting you can still cast your vote for Deacon by filling out an Absentee Ballot. Ballots are
available in the church office and will be collected until Thursday, October 23, no later than 4pm.
Harvest Festival: This year’s Annual Harvest Festival’s theme is “Out of this World!” It will take
place on Wednesday, October 29 from 6-8pm. Last year approximately 400 people walked through
our doors. It was a successful event largely due to your support! Would you consider helping out
again this year? Here are at least 3 ways to get involved. 1) You can drop off candy donations in our
candy barrels. 2) You can give a financial donation on-line, at the Kiosk, or through an offering
envelope, just be sure to designate it “Harvest Fest”. 3) You can sign up On-line, at the Kiosk, or the
designated table in the Narthex to run games, prepare food, or help with set up and clean up. Stop by
the Harvest Festival table to find out other ways you can help! Let’s make this year’s event Out of
this World! Please contact Pastor Christina for any questions.
Heaven’s Gates & Hell’s Flames: Tickets & posters have arrived to start promoting this powerful
evangelistic drama. Please take as many promo materials as you feel you can pass out. Shows will
run Sun - Tues, November 16-18 right here at our church at 7pm nightly. Keep in mind there are
many areas still in need of volunteers: childcare workers, altar workers, crew members, people to
give a financial donation as the production cost is approximately $4,500. If you are able to volunteer
please sign-up at the Kiosk, or on-line (these are the preferred methods) or you can sign-up at the
Info center. Mary Wentworth will be the main coordinator of this event and will receive your
On-line/Kiosk sign-up. If you feel led to give financially, again you can do so On-line or at the Kiosk.
There will be an option to choose HG/HF. Any giving through offering envelopes should be marked:
HG/HF. For questions, please do not hesitate to call the church office at 396-5646.
Christmas Program: Nathan Switzer is requesting your help with this year’s Christmas program,
“A Glimpse of Grace.” Under his direction and with the help of Pastor Larry De Leon and Pastor
Christina Kelley, they will be forming both an Adult Choir and Children’s Choir (kindergarten to 5th
grade). Sign-up at the table in the narthex to participate. More information on rehearsal dates will
be coming soon!
Meal’s Ministry: We are launching a new program for our Meals Ministry! We'll now be utilizing a
program called "Take Them A Meal". You'll be sent an email request with a username & password
and a link you can click on to get to the website. Then just click the date you can bring a meal and
type in what you'll be bringing - simple as that! No overlapping of dates or bringing too many of the
same type of meals! The only thing to note is that there is a button you'll need to uncheck to make
sure the website doesn't send you ads. Also, we are in need of someone who is willing to be the
Meals Ministry Coordinator. Contact Rose Rodriguez at [email protected] if you can
help!
