ANNOUNCEMENTS
WELCOME VISITORS! We are glad you chose to worship with
us today. Please fill out a visitor’s card from the pew and place
it in the offering plate so we will have a record of your visit.
Assisted hearing devices are also available. Parents are
welcome to take advantage of our nursery facilities and graded
worship through middle school. (See a greeter for directions.)
TODAY IS “GRATITUDE SUNDAY.” This is a special service
of gratitude for all that God has done for us over the past year.
Our “Gratitude Offering” this year will be designated for building
maintenance, including a new roof for the sanctuary. Only one
offering will be taken, and all gifts over the weekly budgeted
need will be our special offering. Also, a building fund will
continue after the special offering, for anyone who would like to
contribute. “Future Fund” envelopes are in the foyer for these
gifts.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT SERVICES this week will only include
H2O at 4 p.m., Adult Choir practice at 6:45 p.m. in the
sanctuary, Children’s Choir practice in the FLC at 6:45 p.m.,
and [gloh] Worship in The Lighthouse at 6:45 p.m. also. There
is no meal this Wednesday.
POINSETTIAS are available to place in the sanctuary in honor
of memory of loved ones this Christmas. You’ll find envelopes
to order them in the foyer. Today is the last day to order.
THE “HANGING OF THE GREENS” is planned for tonight at 5
p.m. We need lots of helpers to get the buildings decorated for
Christmas.
BETHANY IS IN CHARGE of the tailgating meal at UWGCCF
this Thursday, December 4. If you can plan to feed 10-15
students, and be set up by 7:30 p.m., please contact Neil
Weathington.
FOOD PANTRY DRIVE – The “Item of the Month” for our
Food Pantry for November is canned soups, spaghetti sauce
and corn. There is a bin in the foyer to deposit these items.
Thanks for your help, and remember if you know of someone in
need, either send them our way, bring them to the pantry, or
take items to them.
THE CHILDREN’S CHOIR has the following practices
scheduled for their Christmas performance: Sunday, Dec. 7,
12-1:15 p.m.; Sunday, Dec. 14, 12-1:15 p.m., and then be back
at church at 5:45 p.m. (dressed in your Christmas clothes) for
the performance that evening. Please note they will also meet
on Wednesday nights at 6:45 p.m. until their performance.
TODAY’S INSERT in the bulletin is a listing of names for our
“Christmas Card Project.” Instead of exchanging cards within
the church family, this year we encourage everyone to only
bring one card to share in a display in the foyer, and instead to
send cards to those on our list. We have targeted those who
are homebound, battling illness, lonely, or just going through
though times.
LADIES WHO HAVE TICKETS to attend First Christian’s
Christmas Luncheon this Tuesday, please be at the church,
ready to leave at 10:45 a.m. to ride the van. Parking is very
limited there.
THE COMMUNION PREPARATION LIST for 2015 is available
in the foyer for volunteers to help prepare communion on
Sunday morning.
THE WOMEN’S SHELTER November item is baked beans (in
the large institutional size cans, if you can find them.) There is
a bin for these items in the foyer.
PLEASE CONTACT ANY OF OUR ELDERS if you have a
need during this time of transition at Bethany. If you need a list
with their contact information, call the church office.
TO RECEIVE BETHANY EMAIL, send an email to [email protected]. To receive the Bethany
eNewsletter on Wednesday, email [email protected].
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND SERVICES and would like
communion brought to you at home, please contact the church
office, or the men in charge of home communion for the week.
