Lots of News
Our Cookout at Sam's Club, in spite of the cold weather, netted $230.76. In addition, members gave freewill offerings of $46.00 for leftovers this past Sunday. Thank you to all who helped with this fundraiser, proceeds from which go toward the youth trip to New York!
Thanks also go to everybody who participated in Operation Christmas Child this past Sunday. Special thanks to Lisa Wood for coordinating and to Judy Jordan for transporting the items for distribution! If you still have a box to donate, you can call to arrange to get it to Judy Jordan before this Thursday morning.
Here are a few critically important reminders:
(1) By now, everybody should know that our adult volunteers and youth will be waiting tables at TGIFriday's this Thursday, November 16, from 5:00 to 9:00 PM. We're doing this also to help raise funds for the youth mission trip to Canandaigua, New York. All tips will go to Friendship's youth group.
Yesterday, I received a copy of an email sent by one of our Friendship members to all the local people on their email address list, inviting them to dine at TGIFriday's this coming Thursday. What a great idea! It would be wonderful if all of our Friendship folks did the same. We could pack the joint!
(2) VOLUNTEERS: We're asked to be at TGIFriday's at 4:30PM on Thursday for an explanatory meeting. (I know that several can't be there right at 4:30.)
(3) By the way, a few more adult volunteers would be helpful, if you can be there at 4:30. Let me know if you could get involved in this worthwhile and fun fund-raising activity.
Other reminders....
(4) Consecration Sunday happens this coming Sunday, November 19. Within a few days, you'll be receiving a snail-mail letter from Steve Feine. There will be two enclosures: a 2007 Time and Talent Survey and a 2007 estimated giving card. Please pray about what you want to try to accomplish as another of God's ministers at Friendship in the coming year. Then, please bring your surveys and cards with you to worship.
(5) After worship on Consecration Sunday, we'll be having a potluck. Coffee and soft drinks will be provided. You're asked to provide the following:
THOSE WHOSE LAST NAMES BEGIN WITH THE LETTERS A THRU E: Desserts
THOSE WHOSE LAST NAMES BEGIN WITH THE LETTERS F THRU P: Main dish/casseroles
THOSE WHOSE LAST NAMES BEGIN WITH THE LETTERS R THRU W: Salads
(6) Also after worship this coming Sunday: Kassidy Lambert, daughter of Kelly Lambert, will be holding a BAKE SALE. The proceeds will go to CASA for Clermont Kids!, the agency which provides court-appointed advocates for foster children who go through the Clermont County court system. Kelly is working with CASA for Clermont Kids! as part of her Senior Exit Action Project.
(7) As you know, we're providing four Thanksgiving baskets for area families. Thank you to all who have signed up to donate items for the baskets. We still need the following items: three large foil roasting pans, four frozen pumpkin pies, and three turkey roasting bags. If you can provide one or two of these items, let Jan Witkowski know. All items need to be brought in by Sunday, November 19.
(8) Finally, remember our annual THANKSGIVING EVE worship with two other area Lutheran congregations. This year's service happens at Friendship. The day and time: November 22 at 7:00PM. I hope that a good contingent of Friendship folks will be in attendance.
