DO YOU SHOP AT FAMILY FARE OR D&W? Then, save those receipts! The Mission Committee has a basket on the table in the Teuwissen Room. We will turn them over to the North Kent Connect.  Keep those aluminum pop tabs coming, too. When the box gets full we give them to Ronald McDonald House.  Thanks!
 
MISSION UPDATES: We are fast approaching our biggest giving season:

• Bucks-for-Birds is coming up. This money buys holiday food baskets for the clients of North Kent Connect.
• The Winter Apparel Tree will soon appear in the Narthex. These warm pajamas, undies, socks, hats, mittens, coats, etc. are always warmly received by the folks at North Kent Connect.
• A big change this year, we will not be participating in Operation Christmas Child (Shoeboxes). Instead, we are working more locally by preparing “Care Bags” for local foster children through D.A. Blodgett-St. John’s Home. Grab a list of items to fill these age and gender appropriate backpacks. Many children leave their homes with nothing more than a few clothes in a trash bag. These bags offer comfort items and necessities to children in need. Care bags due on Dec. 1st.

PASTOR KAREN EVALUATION.  Today right after the worship, the session invites you to a short meeting introducing a survey and a letter for the purpose of evaluating Pastor Karen for the extension of her contract with NKPC.
Please plan on staying for the meeting. Thank you!
 
ALL SAINTS SUNDAY.  On Sunday, November 5th, we will be remembering our loved ones who have died by reading a litany of names in worship and lighting votive candles.  Whether they are gone one week or 40 years, you are invited to submit the names of those people you would like to light a candle for. Please write the names of your deceased loved ones on the blue 4 X 6 card in the bulletin and put it in the offering plate or drop off the card at the church office. Help us to remember the saints who have gone before us! 
 
MAKE FRIENDS AND BE INVOLVED! Every committee at NKPC is looking for new faces with new ideas to be part of the action.  What are you interested in helping with?  What are you called to make a reality?  Talk to Pastor Karen about your interests.
 
THE YOUTH Crew is asking for YOUR help! In your bulletin, there is a volunteer survey to fill out with information on upcoming crew events and other needed information if you're going to volunteer. Our next event will on Sunday Nov. 12th and will be the annual Tea Party and Tea Dueling contest, plus a Disc Golf Tournament is being added this year! For any more information, please email nkpcyouthcrew@gmail.com. Thank you!
 
CHILDRENS SUNDAY SCHOOL. NEXT SUNDAY There will be no Sunday School during the service to allow the children to participate in Sunday Communion Service and All Saints Day Memorial.
