The sanctuary was evacuated in 2:21, which was a very good Food First Sunday December 2, 2018 Mark your calendars now to bring a bag of nonperishable items with you to worship on that day and leave it in the narthex. Here are some suggested items you may include in your bag: peanut butter; canned tuna, canned vegetables or fruit, boxed mac and cheese, cereal, or soups. PRAYER MINISTRY Did you know...we have two separate prayer ministries, and invite you to participate in either, or both. You are not limited to asking for prayers for yourself, but when the prayer requests involves another individual, please get permission from the person concerned before submitting his or her name. To have a prayer concern read aloud during worship, you can call the office during the week ( ), speak to Brant before worship, or speak directly to the person who will be reading prayer concerns on any given Sunday just look for the person holding a clipboard. You can ask for the concern to be shared just once, or it can repeat from week to week as long as it is needed. In addition to the weekly prayer list, we have a separate prayer chain that responds privately to specific needs at any time. Debbie Gibson (gibsond1207@gmail.com) coordinates this ministry. You are invited to contact Debbie whenever there is a specific need and desire for prayer. It might be for someone who is anticipating surgery or recovering from illness; it might be for someone preparing for a job interview; it might be thanksgiving for the birth of a child or an anniversary; it could be that you're simply going through a tough time. Once Debbie knows of a need, it will be relayed to the prayer chain for the volunteers in that ministry to hold up the specific concerns or celebrations in prayer for as long as is needed. A request for the prayer chain can also be read aloud in worship, but we'll only add it to the Sunday morning list if you let us know that's what you want.

2 Pastor s Column by Brant S. Copeland Childcare at FPC on Sunday Mornings Our plans for worship in Advent depart somewhat from previous years. Our Advent Lessons and Carols service will take place in morning worship on the Second Sunday of Advent, December 9. In past years, we have held this service in the evening. We hope that this will give more people the opportunity to experience a service of Lessons and Carols, and will take a little pressure off choir members and others in this busy season. On Christmas Eve this year we will have one service at 5:00 p.m. We are calling this a service of Lessons, Carols, and Holy Communion. And for those who might be anxious, we could also add Candles to the title. The attendance at last year s late service was sparse, to put it tactfully, but interest in the late afternoon service seems not to have abated. I m hoping that this adjustment in Advent and Christmas services will serve the needs of our community. I will be out this week attending a CREDO conference. This is a conference offered by the Presbyterian Board of Pensions for clergy who, shall we say, are of a certain age. I m looking forward to the experience, although I wish it were offered in a less busy time of year. The season of Advent offers Christians ways to focus on the fuller meaning of the Christ event. Advent means coming. In Advent we look forward to Christ s coming to bring in the fullness of God s realm. This puts the coming of Christ as the babe of Bethlehem into perspective. Although we celebrate Christ s birth as the mark of the incarnation, we also look forward to the Our nursery and preschool rooms are staffed by childcare providers from the Heavenly Helpers Agency. These childcare professionals are background checked and trained in infant/child first aid and CPR. They are present in both rooms from 9:00 a.m. Noon each Sunday. Main Floor Nursery: Our nursery is for infants and toddlers up to two years old. Parents can drop children off beginning at 9:00 a.m. and children will be cared for through the worship hour. There is a sign in sheet for parents to list who will be picking their child up, an emergency phone number and any particular needs the child may have while in the church s care. Children should come with a bottle or sippy cup, preferred snack and diapers. Diaper wipes and additional snacks are available. Preschool Care: Beginning at age two, children go to the third floor preschool room. Drop-off begins at 9:00 a.m. and children are cared for through the worship hour. There is a sign in sheet for parents. Snacks are provided. Lectionary Readings December 2, st Sunday of Advent Jeremiah 33:14-16 Psalm 25: Thessalonians 3:9-13 Luke 21:25-36 Dorcas Circle will meet, at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, December 4th in the Specialty House at Oaks.

Gifts for HOPE The youth group has spent the fall of 2018 finding ways to partner with HOPE community. HOPE Community is a residential facility that provides support services to homeless families with children as well as homeless single women. They provide food and shelter for up to 140 people at a time, giving residents the option to stay for up to six months, while working on individual goals to work their way into stable housing. This month the youth group is adopting a family at HOPE. The family consists of a mother, 14 year old son, 12 year old son, 11 year old daughter and 5 year old son. By adopting a HOPE Community family we are committing to provide each child in the family with a new winter outfit (i.e. a coat, a good pair of shoes (sneakers), pants, underwear and socks) and at least one toy. We will also be providing a gift for their parent. If you are not assisting the Presbyterian Women with their holiday gift giving, and you are looking for a way to provide a better Christmas for others in our community, please contact Molly Kennedy, moopster2000@gmail.com, for ways you might assist us in our efforts. If you are a great sale shopper, you might also help us in locating the best deals on some warm coats and quality sneakers. Molly Kennedy is serving as our liaison with HOPE, so please contact her.
