SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Good Morning Whitehall Church!
Bittersweet memories. Loss of traditions. An empty seat at the table. The holiday season can trigger sadness and despair for people grieving a loss. Join us for a 2-hour event called Surviving the Holidays where we talk about how to deal with grief around the holiday season: November 19th, from 6:00-8:00pm in the church library. A free book, Surviving the Holidays, is provided for all those who register and attend. You can register at the front desk or online at: GriefShare.org/holidays.
Operation Christmas Child’s local drop off site is right here at Whitehall BFC. You can help in this Gospel labor, which begins tomorrow, November 18th and continues each day through November 25th, by using the signup sheets out on the OCC table in the foyer!
December 17th is our next free community meal. During that time, we would like to have non-perishable foods, hygiene items, laundry detergent, dish soap and small household items available to our guests. If you would like to bring donations, please wait until December 15th and place your items in the basement on the table marked “Hunger Initiative”. Be sure to sign up in the lobby for the position you will fill to serve this meal to our community. You can also give toward the expense of the meal by designating “hunger initiative” on your check or envelope.
Making Spirits Bright will take place the weekend of December 13th and 14th from 7-9pm. As we grow our display, we will continue to take outdoor lights and decorations that are working and in good condition. You can invite your neighbors and friends by sharing the flyer found on the help desk! We hope to make this a spectacular event each year that draws people closer to Jesus!
Ahhh, Black Friday shopping! You just love it…or NOT! This year’s black Friday you can spend with us as we set up the Making Spirits Bright display. There is a lot of setting up to do! And, as the saying goes, many hands make the work light. So be here the Friday morning after Thanksgiving for your perfect excuse to get out of the craziness of Black Friday shopping!
Next Sunday will be your last opportunity to order the Poinsettias that will be used to decorate our worship center for Christmas! Choose your poinsettia on the order form in the bulletin, put it in a pew envelope, and place both the order form and payment in the offering plate.
Speaking of decorating our worship center, Tuesday morning we will exchange our fall decorations you now see, with our Christmas decorations. We need your help to carry things up and down from the basement! Please grow our tiny group of decorators by showing up 10am Tuesday morning to help!
