Announcements & Calendar for the Week of December 4

CT WOMEN’S EASTERN DISTRICT ADVENT MEETING will be on Monday, Dec. 5th at the Second Congregational Church in New London. The theme will be "The Message of Love Through Music". More information and directions can be found on the bulletin board.

OUR CHRISTMAS PAGEANT will be held on December 18th at 5:00 pm. Church School parents - keep that date open! All church school children will want to participate in the Christmas Story. Our only rehearsal will be on Saturday, December 17th from 9:00 to 11:30 am.

GIFT SUNDAY: Our Annual Gift Service will be held next Sunday. If you took a tag, please bring the gift(s) to service. Gifts will be distributed by Covenant to Care to needy children in our area. As always, we are asked by Covenent to Care to please place your gifts in a shopping bag along with some wrapping paper and bows. Please don’t wrap your gifts! Although it would “look nicer”, the purpose of this is to give parents the chance to wrap their own child’s gifts. Also, Covenent to Care has some regulations that necessitate inspection of all gifts. And please include the tag with your gift!! We appreciate your understanding and know all of you will honor these requests.

THE FREEZER is getting low! Please help us replenish our coffee hour treats and goodies for various events by making an extra batch next time you are baking, wrapping and labeling them, and putting them into the freezer downstairs. Thank you so much!

NEED TO WORK on your Christmas shopping? Drivers are needed for next week’s SYG shopping trip to the Providence Place Mall. Meet in the Great Room at 12:00. We’ll carpool to RI and return by 5:30 p.m. Speak to Debby Kirk or sign up on the kiosk if you can help.
