Calling all singers! Here’s an opportunity to sing God’s praise as a choir for the opening song of our December 21st service. Auditions will be held immediately following service on Sunday, November 2nd and 9th. Rehearsals will be roughly forty minutes long, immediately following services on November 16th, 23rd and December 7th, 14th. Participants will need to be able to attend all rehearsals with any potential absences approved in advance. Please direct all questions to Ann and let her know if you would like to audition so she can plan accordingly. Click on the link to the song so you can listen to it, pray about it, and see if it is something you would like to be a part of.

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 proceeds to share the story of the greatest gift ever – baby Jesus. The first practice starts on Sunday, November 9th and 23rd then continues every Sunday following until the performance on December 14th. Rehearsals will take place during service, with a final dress rehearsal on Saturday, December 13th. If your child is interested in partaking in this delightful skit, please contact Mandy Leenknecht for more details.
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
We’ll begin packing shoeboxes in the next couple of weeks, and we still need a few key items to reach our goal. Here’s what’s left: 150 pencils, 92 notebooks, 30 glue sticks, 70 erasers, 16 soccer balls, 5 dolls, 80 pencil sharpeners, 60 hairbrushes, and 50 combs. We also need to cover the $1,200 shipping cost to send these gifts around the world. To make giving easy, we’ve created an Amazon Wish List—just click, shop, and have items shipped directly to the church! If you’d like to help with shipping costs, please note “OCC” in the memo line of your check. Check out our Amazon wish list that has been created for easy shopping and the items you purchase can be shipped directly to the church. (13232 156th Ave. SE, Renton, WA 98059) A table has been set up to drop items off as well as provide you with some information. If you have questions, contact Sherri or Jannika Frothingham.

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

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.
