North Kent Presbyterian Church: 11/19/17

ANNOUNCEMENTS
STEWARDSHIP letter and pledge form have been sent out.  A Basket for your completed pledge form is available in the narthex.  Please complete your form by December 3rd.
 
FLOWERS today are in celebration of all we do at North Kent Presbyterian Church to help others.
 
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 is 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.

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.
 
ADVENT starts on Sunday, December 3rd, and we will be decorating the sanctuary after worship that day.  Please plan on helping us deck our halls and sanctuary! A simple lunch will be provided by the membership committee.  Thanks for your enthusiasm and decorating acumen!
 
SANTA CLAUS GIRLS. December 15th and December 16th, the Youth Crew will be organizing our Santa Claus Girls gift delivery.  
 
PHOTO WALL UPDATES:
Some of your families have changed since the picture wall was put up last year. If you would like to get an updated photo for the wall, please see our photographer after church.
