ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
FLOWERS today are in thanks for all the gifts God has bestowed on us.
 
CHILDRENS SUNDAY SCHOOL. Next SUNDAY There will be no Sunday School during the service to allow the children to participate in the Sunday Communion Service.
 
MISSION UPDATES:

• Bucks-for-Birds!    This money buys holiday food baskets for the clients of North Kent Connect.  Please write a check and put it in an envelope marked "Bucks for Birds" by December 10th!
• 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.  Please put these items on or under the tree.
• Care Bags for local foster children through D.A. Blodgett-St. John’s Home. Cindy has passed out slips of the remaining items needed for these back packs filled with good stuff for foster children.  These children often are removed from their homes with nothing more than a few clothes in a trash bag. These care bags offer comfort items and necessities to children in need.  All care bags items 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!
 
December 15th and December 16th, the Youth Crew will be organizing our Santa Claus Girls gift delivery.  Please let the church officemanager know if you can drive and help deliver presents on Saturday 12/16.

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 church photographer after church.
 
THE COOKIE WALK IS COMING! 
          THE COOKIE WALK IS COMING! 
                   Saturday, DECEMBER 16th!
Volunteers are needed for baking cookies, set up and sales.  Sign-up sheets are posted in the narthex, please indicate how you can help with this event. This is an event that is a lot of fun and also a super way to connect with our neighbors over delicious cookies!  Come and get involved in the fun!  Free sprinkles.
 
NURSERY VOLUNTEERS! The best way to encourage more children to come to church is to have more volunteers involved in caring for those children.   More volunteers are needed to fill out the 2018 nursery schedule!  Please contact the church office if are willing to help.  There are babies that need you to rock them to sleep!
