The grass is coming up in our Prayer Garden! We are thankful for a donation of $500 from Spade & Hope Garden Club toward this beautification project. Hint: we would welcome other donations since it is a costly endeavor to complete.

đ° WHAT IS NOISY BUCKET?
On Communion Sunday the children walk down the aisle with metal buckets and shake them as you drop your loose change inside. These funds are donated monthly to the Box Elder Community Pantry to help those who need food. PS – paper money is welcome!
đ THRIFTY YARD SALE
Our Thrifty Yard Sale is open on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and always has new stock for sale at bargain prices. Right now, they are low on jewelry, which is a popular sales item. What about going through that box of âjewelsâ and donating the non-used items?
They always need volunteers on weekday mornings and to carry items out and put them away on Saturdays. Also donations of new and lightly-used items, but please not on Friday or Saturday during open hours. This is not just a fund-raiser, but also a mission to the many people who seek and find friendship along with their bargains.
â° CHURCH OFFICE HOURS
Pastor Kirk and our church secretary, Raylene van Leeuwen, are in the church office in Gillespie Hall on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9 a.m. until 12 noon. If you have announcements or other information for the church bulletin, please have these turned in by 9 a.m. Thursday.

HIGHWAY CLEAN-UP

Watch Announcements and/or our Social Media Accounts for future dates/times.
BIBLE DEVOTIONAL FOR SENIORS
Periodically, we visit local care centers to share hymns and devotionals with residents.
Check Announcements and/or our Social Media Accounts for future dates/times.
PLEDGE CARDS
Qualified Charitable Distribution(QCDâs) fliers are in the back of the sanctuary.
Every household in our congregation should have received the annual Stewardship campaign letter in October. As Session prepares the 2025 budget, it is obvious that costs will increase. Expenses will rise for insurance, utilities, maintenance, and everything else. This past quarter, church income has not met church expenses. Session transferred $10,000 from the Edward Jones stock account to cover those costs. It is hoped that year-end giving will help close our books in the black.
If you didnât get the mailing you can pick up information at the back table. Cards can be mailed to the church office. They can also be placed in the offering. Alternatively, they can be dropped in the mail slot by the office doors on 300 South.
