Twenty Fifth Sunday After Pentecost Announcements

Highlights from November 8 Session meeting:

  • Approved new $5000 tech grant proposal
  • Prepared for 2022 Budget writing meeting on Monday, November 15th
  • Set date for Session examination of new church officers
  • Discussion of current social distancing/mask policy
  • Heard decision of Deacons to send “goodies” to first-responders and medical personnel in our church as our “thank you” for their continuing good and faithful work; this will be done prior to Thanksgiving
  • Heard update on annual reviews for Mark, Nancy, and Cathy
  • Our average weekly worship attendance is approximately 75% of our pre-pandemic totals…
  • We are hoping to add as many as two more Young Music Ministers.  If you know of any high school or college age students, please let them know…
  • If we are awarded the $5000 tech grant that we applied for from our Presbytery, it will mean that almost $90,000 has been awarded to our church since 2013…
  • We are planning a Blue Christmas service on Sunday, December 19th at 7:00 PM.  This will be a very special service for those who feel the pain of loss especially during the holidays.  We want them to never forget God is still there (and we are too!)
