ANNOUNCEMENTS

November Calling Team:  Please call Rick H, or Julie L with any special concerns or requests.

November Mission of the Month: “No Senior Without a Christmas”. Each year TRIAD fills 350 boxes with household supplies, non-perishable food, and holiday cheer. The boxes are then delivered to needy, older adults living in the tri-county region of Ingham, Clinton, and Eaton counties. Each box is delivered by a uniformed law enforcement officer or fire personnel. We will be passing the offering plates a second time this morning for this very important mission.

We Will be Packing Backpacks Today:  Please come downstairs immediately after the service.  Your help is greatly appreciated.
