us from our sin to live for you alone. Give us the power of your Holy Spirit
that we may confess our sin, receive your forgiveness, and grow into the fullness of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.

sin and cannot free ourselves. We have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we

by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead.

A Community Christmas of Stark County, Inc. is
preparing for another Christmas holiday season providing new and gently used winter coats
donated for the benefit of those in need.
Coat collections this year will run from
through December 4.
CHIMNEY RECONSTRUCTION UPDATE
Our chimney reconstruction is now complete with the exception of the
installation of the new spotlight for the cross. We expect this work to be done within the next few weeks.
The good news is that we surpassed our $30,000 fundraiser objective.
Unfortunately, our total expenditures for this project will be $34,330 when all bills are received, leaving us, as of November 5, $1,521 short
of our total project expenditure. Therefore, if you are able, we are asking for your continued generosity in contributing to the chimney
reconstruction project so that we are able to cover all costs in full.
LOOKING AHEAD WELCA/LYO Advent Auction and Bazaar
Pasta Dinner at 5 p.m.!
Sunday, December 3
Keep in mind we will need the following items for the event to be fun
and successful: theme baskets, specialty items and crafts (valued at $20 up) for the oral auction, silent auction items (valued at
under $20), grab bag items at a $3 minimum value.
More details as the day gets closer!
