Cong: He was labeled the king of the Jews at his death. Pirie: Today let us look at a new definition of peace Cong: and the business of being king. Pirie: Long Live the King! Opening Prayer: We come to you O God this Sunday remembering that we tried to make Jesus in the image of a king. Help us to see that his life in no way represented that of a king. His journey with us was a journey of peace. His interactions with us were peaceful. His exchanges with his enemies were peaceful. Help us today to emulate his royal behaviour as we learn and grow in ministry. Amen. Children s Hymn: Jesus, You Have Come to the Lakeshore VU 563 Children s Time

An Important Message from your Accessibility Committee TRANSPORTATION SAFETY - Currently the Mobility Bus is required to pick up passengers at the front of the church during the construction period. We ask you to be patient and treat the Mobility Bus in the same way as any school bus. Please do not pass the bus while it is stationary and assisting passengers to embark/disembark the bus. This request is to support the safety of all. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. The Worship Team will again be asking for poinsettias for the Christmas season as memorial or tributes to loved ones to add to the festive atmosphere of our sanctuary. We would ask that you bring the flowers to the narthex on December 3rd between 10:00 and 11:00. A list will be published in the December 18th bulletin with the names of those being honoured. Thank you from the Worship Team.
6 From the Affirming Team Q & A Q We re already welcoming, so why become affirming? A Being an Affirming Ministry is not merely about welcoming gay, lesbian, and transgender people. Words like welcoming or inclusion suggest those on the inside have the power to choose to accept those on the outside. This makes it sound like an act of charity to welcome those who are different or marginalized. However, it is not our place to welcome anyone because church is not a private club and we are not the gatekeepers. As soon as one new person comes through the doors, the community becomes a new community. An Important Message from your Stewardship & Finance Team thank you to all who have completed their information and commitment forms back. This year has been a challenge as we have worked to combine membership lists and reach out to all members. If you have not received a package please let Yvonne know and she will be pleased to get you one. And, if you have not yet done so, please take the time to update your information form for our records and also indicate your commitment. Even if there is no change to your contributions it helps us to budget by knowing what will be coming in. If you wish a magnetic Avondale United Church nametag (cost $8.75), please sign up on the sheet in the Narthex or call Doris at Nametags with pins are available for those with pace makers. Please indicate on order sheet. UPCOMING EVENTS QUR AN READING PROJECT Monday November 21st from 5.00pm to 6.00pm. This will be held in the toddler room.

10 Advent is coming... I know it sounds early, however, the Worship Team wants you to know the upcoming plans for the Advent Season in order for you to update your calendars. Starting this week, in the Narthex you will find the "Angel Tree" with stars attached. Each star represents a child or a Mom currently living at the Emily Murphy Centre. You are invited to remove one of the stars and shop for that child or Mom. On December 4th, the children from Sunday School will bring the parcels forward at our morning service and they will be sent on to the Emily Murphy Centre. For the Moms, apparently gift certificates from grocery stores are appreciated, however, the choice is yours. Nov. 23rd at 9:00 a.m., we invite anyone that is able to join us to help decorate the sanctuary and narthex and anywhere else we are able to go. This will prepare the sanctuary for Carol Fest, a community event, which will take place on Nov. 26th in the evening at 7:00 p.m. involving wonderful Christmas music organized by the Congregational Life and Work Team together with our own Lori Millian. Refreshments will be served. If you are able to make cookies, please speak to Susan Wigan and all donations will be gratefully appreciated. November 27th is the official beginning of the Advent Season and communion will be served at our morning service. On December 4th, a Blue Christmas Service will be held in the evening in the sanctuary for those feeling loss and having difficulty with the joys of the season. Refreshments will be served following the service. December 11th our morning service will be a choral service led by our senior choir together with the junior choir; December 18th - The fourth Sunday in Advent will be White Gift Sunday and we are asked to support our Food Shelf with gifts of food.
