The chancel wreaths
were placed by Carolyn and Richard Slye
in memory and in honor of their children and families.
FOOD DRIVE to benefit H.E.L.P. Pantry
Each week we are collecting food items to help build a holiday meal for those in need in our community. Grocery bags with suggested items will be provided for your convenience on November 25 following the worship service. The collection points will be in the narthex (back of the sanctuary) or inside the entrance door leading to the office. Please make sure all items are turned in by December 15. If you have any questions, please contact the church office.
Everyone’s invited to our

Advent Devotional books
Advent: A Calendar of Devotions 2019 By Teer Hardy
are available in the back of the sanctuary
or outside the church office beginning December 1.

In a thoughtful and informative style, Teer Hardy leads us through the busy preparations of Advent, reflecting upon God's promises and love for the world while also looking forward to the immense change that will be brought forth by the birth of a baby in Bethlehem. This calendar of daily devotions helps readers focus on what matters most throughout the hustle and bustle of the season.
Healing Eagle Clinic has asked for help on Saturday, December 14 . They needed to change the date so that the students from VCU could come to help. Our Mattaponi trip to bring lunch and items from the wish list to them is now Saturday, December 14. If you have any questions, please call the church office (757) 723-6577 or Ruth Kourtiche (757) 206-3945 . There is a box in the Narthex for donated supplies.
