Sunday Morning Bible Study
On November 15th, 22nd, and 29th during the Sunday School hour, Pastor Jason will offer a Bible Study entitled “Misunderstood People of the Bible.” Each week we’ll look at a different character from the Bible that has been misunderstood. Join us as we learn more about these individuals and how we are often misunderstood as well as how we misunderstand others.
November 15th - “Doubting” Thomas, who didn’t believe the resurrection
November 22nd - Cain, who killed his brother Abel
November 29th - Tamar, who slept with her father-in-law Judah

Trip to Salvation Army *NEW*
On Saturday, November 21st the youth groups will do a Scavenger Hunt for food at Copps Grocery Store on the corner of Ballard and Northland. The purpose of this exercise is to learn about how far (or sometimes how short) money goes when we need to buy food. We will then take the food from the Scavenger Hunt and give it to the Salvation Army and take a tour of their facility. All are welcome to join us!
Healing Service
After worship on Sunday, November 22nd, we will have a Healing Service. This is a brief but meaningful service that allows you to pray for healing for yourself or others. Please join us!
Thanksgiving Eve Lovefeast
Please join us on Wednesday, November 25th at 7:00 pm for a Thanksgiving Eve Lovefeast! The Lovefeast tradition traces its roots back to 1727 (the renewal of the Moravian Church). During a worship service, the members of the Unitas Fratrum (“Unity of the Brethren,” who would be-come the Moravian Church) who were living on the estate of Count Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf in Germany, experienced a pro-found sense of unity and forgiveness through the power of the Holy Spirit. After the worship service was over, they congregated on the lawn outside the church and continued in fellow-ship. Zinzendorf, seeing all this, was reminded of the “agape meals” of the early church where the Christians would eat and fellowship together. He had food sent to them so that they could continue to be with one another. Today, the lovefeast is used to mark special events in congre-gational life and as a way to give thanks to God for our church family! Please join us!
Sugarcake and Lovefeast Buns
We are in need of an individual or individuals who will make Moravian Sugarcake and / or Lovefeast Buns for our Thanksgiving Eve Service. If interested, please talk to Pastor Jason or someone from the Worship Committee.
