This week’s lectionary readings: Jeremiah 23:1-6 Colossians 1:11-20 ANNOUNCEMENTS The Ronceverte Ministerial Association will be hosting a Community Thanksgiving Service at the Ronceverte First Church of God this evening at 7pm. The service is in the Fellowship Hall on NORTH AVENUE (between Clay & Elm Streets). This is a wonderful opportunity for all denominations to gather in thankfulness. We will be collecting toy donations to be distributed to children in our area through our Organ Cave Community Center mission project. You may bring toys to church any time until Sunday, December 18. If you would rather give a monetary donation you may do so and Deanna will purchase toys for you. O’Come Share in the Sweetness of the Christmas Season on Sunday, December 4, 2pm at Trinity. What better way to enjoy this wonderful time of year than gathering with friends to make a Christmas ornament for yourself and one for a shut-in. For those that wish to participate, we will also have a cookie swap where you bring cookies to share and take some of everyone’s home with you. We will have a fabulous hot chocolate and coffee bar. It will be a very festive, fun afternoon! Due to Thanksgiving on Thursday, yoga class will be on Tuesday this week, at 6:30pm. Please note it will be back to Thursday the following week. Our Hanging of the Greens is this Saturday, November 26, 6pm with soup and sandwiches. Lots of hands needed! Our Family Night Dinner and Youth Presentation will be December 17 at 5pm. Our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service will be 6pm on December 24. We will have our regular worship service on Christmas Day at 9:15 am (no snacks after church so families can return home together to celebrate Jesus' birth).
