This month s collection During the months of November and December, we are collecting tuna, rice in 2 lb. bags, cooking oil, canned beans, peanut butter, pasta and sauce, diapers (especially sizes 4-6), baby wipes, baby shampoo, diaper rash cream, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry and dish soap and Safeway/Giant gift cards for Share. Please place your donations in the bins outside the sanctuary and in the Fellowship Building. Please drop off Safeway/Giant gift cards in the church office. Ongoing Collections Grocery gift cards Cards ($10, $20, & $25) are used to help the hungry who visit the church during the week looking for assistance. You may donate a card at anytime by dropping it in the offering plate or bringing it by the office. Some people prefer to write a check to the church and we purchase them in bulk. We ask that you only bring items that are requested. Other items are likely to be discarded. Music Notes: The Prelude is Dale Wood s 1992 setting of William Bradbury s 1861 hymn (see #496 in our Hymnal). The Anthem features Trinity Trebles under the direction of Dr. Catherine Wethington. The Offertory is a 2011 setting of the Irish folk melody SLANE (see #451 in our Hymnal) by Mark Hayes. The Postlude, a perpetual motion toccata by George Frideric Handel, was composed around 1730 but was not published until the 1950 s, when a manuscript formerly in the possession of Handel s Messiah librettist Charles Jennens came to light.
