Many members of the congregation have submitted their pledges for 2023--and we thank you! If you have not yet committed to supporting the ministry of Christ at Galilee for next year, I encourage you to take a moment and visit the website where you can make a pledge. As we close out our pledge campaign, please take a moment to hear from Tommy Rueger, who attends our 8AM service.

Thank you for your support of the Thanksgiving baskets. An Achievable Dream at Seatack will give 40 families a food basket for Christmas. Several sponsors are contributing items, but a frozen pie and butter are needed for each family. If you wish to contribute a pie or butter, please bring them to any of the three services on December 4th & 11th. There will be a table for them. Lindsay McCaw will be collecting them November 28th-December 9th in the front office. Thank you for your support of this important Galilee ministry.
Please call Sally Kitchin if you have any questions at 757-641-6575

Galilee is sponsoring a December coat drive to benefit the An Achievable Dream Academy/Seatack and People in Need Ministry (PIN Ministry).
New or gently used, clean coats are needed, all sizes - men's, women's, and children's. PIN also needs blankets (adults only). They should be placed in the bins beside the Christmas tree in the Commons area, and they will be collected and delivered to each organization regularly between now and Christmas. Please help us spread the warmth of Galilee to our less fortunate neighbors!
Contacts: Cheryl Jordan (cherylwjordan@gmail.com) or Sally Kitchin (sokitchin@gmail.com)
