| Souper Thanksgiving Join us on Sunday, November 23 after the service for a Thanksgiving meal of soups, stews, and chilis. Hot dogs and mac and cheese will also be available for kids. There is no cost, but donations are welcome to support two mission trips scheduled for the spring. The first is our student ministries Spring Break trip to Mexico and the second is a VBS trip to Peru. We also have a silent auction in the Coffee Cafe benefiting these mission trips. Four quilts have been donated by the quilting group that meets here every other Monday, one of which was pieced by Verla Perry! There are also four bowls turned by Steve Alexander from the old oak tree that are included in the silent auction. We are thankful to the quilters and to Steve for sharing their beautiful creative giftedness with us. Bidding takes place in the Coffee Cafe before and after the Sunday service. Winners will be notified on November 23rd. Thank you for supporting missions! |
| Baby Clothes Swap Many families in the church have been blessed by impromptu baby clothing swaps, and these families are looking to pay it forward. If you are a family with little ones or you have littles in your extended family that would appreciate previously loved baby -toddler clothing, stop by Friends Center on November 15th from 2-4 pm to pickup some new to you baby and toddler clothes. This is a great opportunity to pass on clothes your little may have grown out of and grab something that may fit a little better. Whether you have something to pass on or not, we hope you will feel welcome to shop around. If you have clothes you would like to donate or would like more information on the event, you can contact Sara Elder by email or give her a call (503) 917-1312. |
