Thanksgiving Baskets
Through your generosity, this church provides Thanksgiving Baskets to 14 families in Northwood. There is a sign-up sheet in Fellowship Hall for all the good food for the boxes. All food needs to be here by the beginning of worship on November 23.

Operation Christmas Child ~ Return filled shoeboxes by Sunday, Nov 23 at 10:00am
There is one more week to fill your own shoebox if you are interested. Please take a shoebox from the gold box in Fellowship Hall, along with a pamphlet that has a tag for you to indicate whether your shoebox is for a girl or a boy either 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14 years old. It is NOT too late to donate items to include in the Sunday School children's shoeboxes. Please bring to church either this week or next Sunday and put in the gold box. Item suggestions include but are not limited to: school supplies, personal hygiene, small toys, and clothing. Candy is being discouraged but chewing gum and hard candy are okay. Please DO NOT donate food, toothpaste, liquids, lotion, aerosol cans, breakable items, balloons, seeds, or war related items.

Gift Card Orders
A Gift Card order will be taken this Sunday. This is a great opportunity to start thinking about gift cards to buy things for the holidays or to give as gifts. There will be one more chance to order before Christmas but don't wait too long!!

"Christmas By Design" ~ December 6th
Sign up sheets are on a table in Fellowship Hall for donations of popover ingredients, to make a crockpot of soup or a loaf of bread, and/or to bake for the bake sale. There is also a Volunteer sign-up sheet to help on the day of our Fair.
FINAL APPEAL -- If nobody steps forward to oversee the Soup Luncheon by next Sunday, a local organization will be sought to take it on....and they will receive half of the proceeds. Please contact Faith Levesque at 608-1121 (landline) if you would like to be the Luncheon Coordinator and keep all of the proceeds here at NCC.
