May you and your families have great week of Thanksgiving!
Here are some reminders and announcements:
- There will be no activities at our church buildings tonight, Wednesday.

Sunday December 3rd is our yearly "Thank You God" Sunday. We celebrate our blessings and bring a thank offering to the Lord. As it says in 2 Corinthians 9, decide in your heart what you want to give with cheerfulness. There are two options this year for this special offering:
- Give a regular offering to contribute to the general budget of our church.
- Give a designated "Thank You God" offering that will be used to generously invest in three of our partners in ministry. Multiply Church (a new church we are helping starting in South Hall), Choices Pregnancy Care Center, and purchasing water filters for the people of Nepal through RU4 people. Links to these ministries are below:
Soon we turn our attention to the season of Advent and Christmas. Starting December 3rd we will celebrate the coming of our Messiah. Here are some dates to know for the first week of Advent:
- A Christmas Night of Worship, December 3 at 7 PM. Come hear from our worship team, students, and children as they help us celebrate the the coming of Christ our Lord.
