Our next blood drive will be held on January 25th, from 3-7pm in our church parking lot. Previously, only those age 17 and up could donate, but Miller-Keystone is now accepting donations from 16-year-olds with a signed permission slip from their parents. The sign-up sheet and permission slips are available on the lobby table. If you have any questions about donating, please see Marty Moser.
If you are interested in joining The Truth Project, 12-week DVD study on a Christian worldview, please sign up at the table in the Lobby. The study will start on January 12th at 6:30pm, and will be , held at the home of Joe and Dana Calamaro. (Please note that there will be no child care during the study. We apologize if this is a hardship for anyone.) For more information, please contact Joe and Dana.
December 31 is the last day to vote for the 2018 Deacon Board. There are still ballots that have not been picked up at the lobby table. Your completed deacon ballot can be put in the offering basket or given to an elder or deacon.
This Sunday, December 31, we will be taking a second offering for our Benevolence Fund, which is used to minister to others when needs arise throughout the year. It’s taken when a month has a fifth Sunday.
Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday this year so we won’t have a morning service that day. Instead, we’ll have a Christmas Eve play, called “A Baby Changes Everything,” at 7pm. There will be no youth group and no child care that night. We will take our normal Sunday offering that evening.
During the month of December, we will be handing out the 2018 Offering Envelopes in the lobby before and after the Sunday morning service. If you currently have 2017 envelopes, your name will be listed with your envelope number. If you don't currently have envelopes, you are welcome to sign up to receive them in 2018. If you have any questions, please contact the church office. You can also set up online donations to the Chapel at our website through SimpleGive.
Starting Sunday, December 3, you can send Christmas cards to the others at the Chapel, no postage required! Just drop your cards in the box on the lobby table labeled "MVC Mailbox." The cards will then be sorted for you into each person's manila folder, found in crates on our Christmas table in the lobby. If you don't see your name on a manila folder, please contact the church office.
Thank you to everyone who filled shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items and school supplies to give to needy children via Operation Christmas Child. Together, you contributed 357 boxes! And, thank you to Steve and Connie Young for organizing the collection of shoeboxes at MVC and dropping off the boxes at the collection center.
