REFLECTIONS- "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." -Colossians

PERSON
INVITE YOUR
ONE was highly effective! Attendance was 150! We almost doubled our average attendance (82) for the year. This was a great day of outreach
for our church family. We all worked together. We all invited people to come to church. We saw the results. We saw what happens when we invite people to church. They
come!
One way to get the person or
persons to come back is to invite them again. They came because you invited them. They will most likely attend again if you invite them again. Perhaps you invited someone, and for
whatever reason they could not make it this past Sunday. Try inviting them to another worship service.
We have some special worship
services coming up in December that will make for perfect opportunities to invite someone to church. Our handbell choir will be playing on Dec. 3rd. We will have our Christmas Cantata on Dec. 10th. Our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service is also a wonderful
opportunity to invite someone.
There will be no Lifeline Online
next week. I will be on vacation. My sermon this Sunday will be
on Gratitude.
Grace &
Peace,
Dennis
Sunday-Thanksgiving
Offering Sunday- this year's Thanksgiving offering will go toward the cost of replacing windows at the parsonage. Windows will be installed on December 4th. If giving by cash, please use one of the Thanksgiving offering envelopes provided by the
offering box and in the card racks in the pews. If giving by check, please indicate in the memo section that your offering is for parsonage windows. If giving online, select the
Thanksgiving offering option (even though it says it is for the Building Fund). To date, we have raised $9,305.00 of the $15,899.00 needed
to pay for the windows. Thank you for your generosity!
December

and proposed 2024 budget will be available in the foyer this
Sunday.
