ANNOUNCEMENTS
Congregational Meeting: You are invited to a meeting after worship today to hear about Sabbatical time for Gayle and the church from mid January through early April. We will make presentations about the concept of Sabbatical, our specific plans and how the church will function while Gayle is gone. Come with your questions and concerns, and we will attempt to answer them. The meeting will be held in the Sanctuary immediately following worship.
Communion Offering: In these hard economic times, our community needs our holiday help. The Deacons and Mission Committee have agreed to provide fourteen holiday baskets this Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Communion Offering for the month of November will go towards the purchase of turkeys and hams for each basket. There also is a sign-up sheet in Fellowship Hall for the other contents of the baskets. All items are due back by 9:00 am on Sunday, November 22. Thank you for your generosity. (Please note: when making checks to support Mission giving, make them payable to NCC, with Mission in the Memo section, so that the funds can be properly tracked and then allocated to that Mission.)
Help with Advent Children’s Messages: We are looking for a team of four who can present our Advent Children’s Messages. There is a prepared script and there is no need for rehearsal or talent. Please see Gayle if you might enjoy this.
Christmas Caroling Coordinator: Could you please assist us in organizing a Christmas Caroling party for the church? Contact Gayle if you are interested.
Town-wide Thanksgiving Service: There will be a town-wide Thanksgiving Service on Sunday, November 22 at 5:30pm at the Baptist Church. There will be a food in-gathering to benefit the Northwood Food Pantry. Even if you are unable to join us in Worship in the morning, come to the Town-wide Service.
Envisioning Survey: As we go about our Envisioning Process,
we are seeking to find out how well this church serves its parishioners. The surveys were sent out in the last newsletter and were sent electronically to those who receive the newsletter by email. Use as much room as you need to answer the questions, and we hope that everyone in the family will fill one out. There is a designated box for you to return the survey in the upstairs hall way, under the time line. Or they can be mailed to the church at PO Box 65, Northwood, NH 03261 or given to any committee member (Michael Magoon, Priscilla Merrill or Gayle Murphy.)
Centering Prayer: You are all invited to a time of centering prayer every Wednesday at 8:00 am for 30 minutes. Jo Chase is hosting us in her home at 306 Catamount Road.
