  ANNOUNCEMENTS

December Calling Team:  Please call Tod V., or Brian W with any special concerns or requests.

Mission of the Month:  The Salvation Army’s ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.  Today is the last day to contribute to this worthy mission.

Children and Worship Reminder:  We are still supporting “Z” with Children and Worship Funds.  (“Z”, is a child in Bangladesh with a very LONG name, so we call him “Z”.)  Please think about sending your children to C & W with a small donation each week, so that they can learn about helping children in other lands. 

2020 Greeters Schedule:  Please take a moment to look at the Greeter’s Schedule posted on the board in the FLC.  This is a rough draft.  If you see your name on the schedule and you no longer wish to be a greeter, please cross it off.  There are also some dates left open that need to be covered, and we would love to have new volunteers to do this. If you are interested in being a greeter on Sunday mornings, please sign up for as many dates that you would like to.  After this has been done, I will make a final copy of the schedule and place it in everybody’s mailboxes that are on the list.  Thank you for your help in putting this together.

No Sr. High Youth Meeting:  Today due to winter break.

No CONNECT or Jr. High Youth Meeting:  Wednesday January 1, due to winter break.

No Sunday School: Today or Sunday January 5, due to winter break.
