We’ve had a great response with our Ashland Pregnancy/Care Center Baby Bottle Campaign! Thank you to all who took bottles. Just a reminder that they need to be returned to the church by THIS WEEKEND. They can be dropped off in the church office during office hours, or brought with you to church this weekend. Again, thank you for helping save God’s littlest and most precious gifts!
Outreach Ballots have been mailed to members. Don ’t forget to return them to the church by December 3. You can mail them, using the provided envelope, or drop them in the ballot boxes located in the Social Corner, the Gathering Space, and by the church office.
Fostering Family Ministries Display
You will want to stop and see the display case in the hall be-
tween the Office and the Montessori Preschool - it will give
you an opportunity to find out more about the Fostering Fami-
lies Ministry. You will see what they’re doing, how to become
involved, and who is involved now. You’ll also discover some
interesting history behind fostering.
ADVENT, which begins December 3, is an opportunity to share in fami-ly prayer time, as we wait for the coming of the Christ Child. There will be devotionals for preschool through early elementary, older elementary & fam-ilies, and adults. We hope these devotionals will help you to focus your attention on the com-ing of Christ in this Advent season. Devotionals will be given to children ag-
es 2 through grade 5 in Sunday School on December 3 and adult devotionals will be available on tables in the Gathering Space and outside Jack’s Place.

Two well-worn bills arrived at the Federal Re-serve Bank to be retired – a $100 and a $1. As they traveled down the conveyor belt, they struck up a conversation. The hundred remi-nisced about the interesting life he had, travel-ing all over the country. “I’ve been to the finest restaurants, Broadway shows, Las Vegas, and amusement parks,” he said. “I even went on a Caribbean cruise once. Where have you been?” “Oh,” said the one dollar bill, “I’ve been to a Methodist church, an Episcopal church, a Bap-tist church, and a Lutheran church.” “What’s a church?” asked the hundred.
