Please place your donation in the special envelopes provided or include it in your offering envelope, clearly marked for “IW Christmas gift.” Thank you! Thanksgiving Baskets: Martha’s Ministries will be assembling Thanksgiving Baskets on Saturday, November 22nd at 10:00 am here at the church. We need your help with packaging and baking. Please see the handout for additional information. Any questions, see Katie Mangum or Sandy Bruns. Thank you! A Missions Weekend will be held here next weekend, November 15 and 16, with our special guests, Dave and Su Sitterley, who served as International Workers in China for 30 years, using university teaching as their primary visa platform in this creative access country. They have recently returned to the States permanently. We will have a Coffee House on Saturday night starting at 6:30 and the Sitterleys will be with us for Sunday morning. If you could provide a dessert for Saturday night, please let Amy Palmer know. Shoe Box Time is Here! If you would like to be a part of spreading the love of Christ to children around the world, please consider packing a shoe box. Boxes and informational brochures are available on the table in the lobby. For more details, visit the Samaritan’s Purse website at www.samaritanspurse.org/occ. Boxes should be returned by next Sunday, November 16. If you would rather just make a donation of items for the shoeboxes (small toys and games, books, school supplies, candy, gum, clothing, health supplies, etc.), there is a collection bin for those items on the table and those items should be turned in by next Sunday as well. The PreSchool is planning a packing party for shoeboxes in the church lobby on Thursday, November 20th from 4:00—5:30 and would welcome your help!
