SMALL GIFTS; BIG IMPACT!
Helping reach a $3,000 goal can be very daunting if you’re struggling to make ends meet. But God smiles upon every gift given from a joyful heart, no matter the amount. Every penny given to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering is used to help support about 5,000 Southern Baptist missionaries serving overseas. Last year, more than 2.2 million people got to hear the Gospel from those missionaries and their national partners. And from those hearers, your missionary force reported baptizing 333,823 new believers and starting 28,873 new churches. Please give.

POINSETTIAS
This year in lieu of purchasing poinsettias as in years past, the Decorating Committee is asking to donate to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering what you would normally pay for poinsettias. A  recognition “in memory of” or “in honor of” will be distributed for those participating in this special project. Please fill out the Flower slip to have your loved ones listed. Thanks.

SYMPATHY
The Pastor and Church Family offer heartfelt sympathy to Charles & Virginia Hucks in the death of Virginia’s brother-in-law, Cuitlahuac Ricardez and to Jeff & Tammy Stevens in the death of Tammy’s father, Furman Tompkins.

OPEN HOUSE
You are invited to an “Open House at the Pastorium” on Saturday, December 8, 2012 from 2:00 – 4:00pm.  Light refreshments will be served and you can see the make-over to the Pastor’s home. It is come and go style, so we hope to see you.
