STEWARDSHIP UPDATE
Through November 27, we have received 69 pledges for ministry next year totaling $382,205.00. That is 78% of our goal of $488,928 for next year. THANK YOU to all who have made these commitments so far! Our budget for next year is 20% more than this year, which reflects our hope and optimism of increased outreach and growth through programming, staffing, and use of our facility. If you wish to make a commitment to help meet this goal, you may find pledge cards in the pews in the sanctuary, on the literature table in the narthex, or by contacting the church office. Thank you for your continued faithful support of our ministry at Western Boulevard!
BREAKFAST! – DECEMBER 11
Sizzling bacon, fluffy eggs, creamy grits, hot coffee...hungry yet? Please join us Sunday, December 11 at 8:45am in the Fellowship Hall for a hot breakfast to kick off your day of Church School and worship. No need to RSVP, just show up with your smiling face and hungry tummy.
POINSETTIAS
If you would like to purchase a poinsettia that is decorating the sanctuary in honor or in memory of a loved one, they are $10 per plant. Please fill out an order form provided on the Purple Update (included in this Sunday's bulletin) or use the form HERE along with your payment; if you write a check, please make it out to WBPC and write “Poinsettia” in the memo line. Either place your order in the offering on Sunday or drop it off at the church office by December 14. We will share a complete list on December 18. Thank you!
DIVORCE CARE
If you are considering separation or divorce, don’t try to go through it alone. Connect with a DivorceCare group either in person or online. You’ll find caring people who understand the issues you face and practical counsel for decision making and managing stress. Contact DivorceCare HERE or speak with a Deacon or Elder for a list of several groups that meet in The Triangle area, churches or online.

If you have a prayer concern, please contact Frank Mansell (frank@wbpresbyterian.org), Marcia Bennett (sen1969@hotmail.com), or Betty Dean (betdean@nc.rr.com) and request that it be added to the Prayer Chain. Please note that any confidential prayer requests will not be added to the Prayer Chain.
