Mike or Rev. Judie.  Thank you for your generosity.

ONGOING NOTICES

Fall Book Study:  This fall the book study group will meet from 2:30 – 3:30 pm on Thursday, December 2 and December 9 with Rev. Mike.  A question at the forefront for many of us on our Christian journey is: Why does there seem to be so much suffering in the world?  One of the great books written in response to this question is When Bad
Things Happen to Good People by Harold S Kushner.  It is my hope that our study of this book and our discussions together will lead us, in some way, to a better understanding of this question.  Those planning to attend who haven’t already signed up, please see Rev. Mike.

The two Bible Study Fellowship Groups – Monday evenings, 7 pm-8:30 pm (1st, 3rd & 5th), and Tuesday afternoons 2 pm-3:30 pm (1st, 3rd, & 5th) will be studying the Letter to the Hebrews.  Hebrews will help us to see how the Old and New Testaments are linked, how they are two parts of the same astonishing story!  Rev. Ron will be very pleased to see you!  The Tuesday group will meet on November 30 and December 7; the Monday group on November 29 and December 6.

PWRDF; There are memorial cards for the Primates Fund on the table
at the back of the church.  They are self explanatory and a worthwhile way of remembering friends or relatives as this fund assists people around the world.

Soup Labels and Stamps:  Thank you for your continuing support.  Soup Labels must be whole, and Stamps have a least ¼” of envelope around them.

FOOD BANK – The St. Marguerite Bourgeoys Food Bank is always in need of canned fruit, canned meat, pasta, peanut butter, jam, crackers and pudding.  Your ongoing support is greatly appreciated.
