Thanksgiving Baskets
A wonderful way to show the
love of Jesus is to make a
Thanksgiving
basket for the United Methodist
Neighborhood Center. You still have time to get one
together! A list of contents may be found on the
back page of this newsletter. Bring the contents to
church and drop them off in the designated area in
the main hallway.
Return by Tuesday, November, 14.
Hey, Colonial Park! Together we specifically ordered 109 bags of pecans. Good job! But the bigger news is I had to order complete cases. That means I’ve got plenty of bags of assorted flavors just waiting for your purchase. We only have 5 extra bags of plain, which is the big seller, so call and let me know if you want them. We have varying amounts of the rest, so keep in mind cousins you might see, that you will need a gift for, under the tree. I/we have lots of milk chocolate to sell. And remember, these pecans support our ministry, Family Prom-ise. These pecans will be delivered to me before this Sunday, I’m thinking, and can be paid for with cash or check. Hopefully everybody can pick up theirs before Thanksgiving. We get to be the hands and feet of Jesus while enjoying a tasty treat. Let’s talk! Ruth Crawford 497-5561

Cut off for orders will be the end of business on Tuesday, November 14th.

of the scripture and emphasized that just as in the Bible lesson, we must
commit and depend on God to see us through whatever we face. Hugh
Bell presided over our class today, with 20 people present. Visitors are
always welcome to join us for these inspirational lessons, warm fellow-ship, and meaningful discussion. Covenant Class: The Covenant Class is an adult intergenerational fel-
lowship of couples and singles. The class uses a discussion format with
scripturally based studies. Our emphasis is on seeking a contemporary understanding and how to apply Jesus’ teaching in our everyday lives.
