OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
We would love for you to join us in packing our Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes Sunday, November 23rd from 12:00–1:00 PM. Sunday is also the final day to donate items or funds. Anything given beyond what we need this year will go toward next year’s OCC ministry. Thanks to your generosity, we have fully covered the postage for all 120 shoeboxes. Thank you for helping share the love of Christ and bringing joy to children around the world this Christmas.
CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
We’re looking for volunteers to join our Children’s Ministry team. We still need two volunteers to be Group Guides ages 13 and up, serving one week each month. If you are interested or have questions, contact Pastor Adam.
SOUND BOOTH
Are you interested in serving behind the scenes? We’re looking for volunteers to join our sound booth team during Sunday services. No prior experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn and be part of a team that helps make worship happen each week. If you’re curious and would like more information email Pastor Adam.
SONG OF THE MONTH - NOVEMBER
The song “Christus Victor (Amen)” proclaims Christ’s triumph over sin, death, and darkness—a victory that brings true freedom and peace. In November, as we honor Veterans Day, we remember those who fought for earthly freedom while giving thanks for the eternal freedom Christ secured through His cross and resurrection. As Thanksgiving turns our hearts to gratitude, we echo the song’s “Amen” in praise to the One who reigns victorious. “Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57).
Christus Victor (Amen) by Keith & Kristyn Getty.

KIDS – CHRISTMAS SKIT
We’re excited to present a Christmas skit called “The Greatest Gift”. It’s about a young child who is upset with what he gets for Christmas, and an older child offers him comfort. Then the older child proceeds to share the story of the greatest gift ever – baby Jesus. The performance will be held on Sunday, December 14th during service.
CHURCH POTLUCK
We invite everyone, whether you’re new, have been attending for years, or are visiting for the first time, to join us for our church potluck after service on Sunday, January 18th at 11:30 AM.

GLEAN AT ERCC (food and other items)
Inspired by: Acts 4:32 "All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had."
ERCC hosts a gleaning on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays around 11:30 – 12:00pm in the back parking lot. Items are extras from stores such as Costco and QFC. It's mostly food, but sometimes other household items. When you arrive, there will be a person handing out buttons with numbers. You will line up according to your number. The elderly will have their own line and will go first. You will go through in groups of 10 and you must stay in line, no passing. Items allowed to pick depend on the amount of food that is brought. All participants are asked to enter through the back gate, park and go directly to the “number person” and get in line. (No scanning of the items laid out) Please come to the church after you receive the email notification from ERCC.
People attending ERCC are welcome to participate in the ‘glean’ distribution. If you would like to attend please email the church office and you will be added to the ‘gleaning’ email list. An e-mail will be sent about 15-20 minutes before the distribution begins. You must wait until the notice is sent before coming to the church. These are the instructions for the current participants and ERCC participants will be expected to do the same.
PRESTON FOOD BANK
Preston Food Bank is making a huge impact, supporting 200 families each week and creating special care bags for women, children, shut-ins, and more each month. To help them continue this vital work, they need plastic and paper shopping bags, magazines, and egg cartons. If you’d like to contribute, please place your donations in the walk-in pantry located in the church kitchen. Sally Williams will be collecting items every Sunday. Thank you for helping make a difference in our community.
