Save the date!! Dec. 7th we’ll be going on our annual Christmas Caroling adventure.  We’ll be collecting, as usual, homemade or pre-packed snacks to go in the caroling baskets for the folks we sing to.  You can start putting those in the secretary office on the 23rd.  Talk to Tina Rogers for ideas and time to have your items here on the 7th if not beforehand.

Kids!  6th grade and down!  We’ll be making our Christmas roll cookies at 1 p.m. on Dec. 7th.  Bring a container to carry your cookies home in and let Mrs. Fanning know if you are going to participate so she has enough dough made up. 

Youth, 9th and up!  Registration is open for the Ignite Conference! Registration is $60.  It is Feb. 20-21st!  You'd have cost to share for a hotel stay.  You'd need a sack lunch to take on the way and possibly money for the food on the way home. Deadline to let Karen know is January 5th so that we have plenty of time to secure hotel rooms. You can go to https://www.gbchutch.com/igniteconference for more details.  And ask Mike or Karen any questions. 

Ladies, from teens and up!  You’ll find a flyer out in the foyer with the information about our Ladies Retreat next March 2026!  Registration will begin in January. 

Please talk to Stan Hornbaker if you would be interested in helping with the  Garden’s Nursing Home ministry the 1st and 3rd Tues. of the month at 9:30 a.m. Looking for folks to read scripture, help sing, encourage the residents, etc. 

Next Sunday, the 23rd, is the last Sunday to bring your items and/or snacks for our college students for a fun study break during finals week.  You can pick up a list of suggested snacks that they like out in the foyer. You’ll find a sack with each student’s name on it in the secretary office. 

Be sure and let Karen Fanning know of pre-school aged children or grandchildren that will be at Sunday School coming up and she would be glad to prepare a SS lesson for that aged class. 

You’ll notice a couple of little throw blankets on the coat rack in the foyer.  Feel free to borrow one for the services if you are cold. 

2025-2026 ADVENTURE CLUB

If you would like to know the subject and verse for each Wednesday evening, please let Karen know and she can post here or send you a schedule for the year.

Each student (no matter the age) that says 75% of the verses for the year will get to participate in some kind of outing at the end of the school year. (That means they can only miss 8 verses for the year.)
