MISSION OF THE MONTH
The Mission Committee decided to initiate a Mission of the Month to focus on different mission opportunities for the entire congregation to participate. Many of the monthly mission activities will focus on those activities identified by the congregation as priorities. The monthly mission will be announced in a Moment for Mission at church, in the Highlander, in the bulletin, on the website and in the weekly e-mail communications to the congregation. Keep an eye out for these announcements that include an explanation of how you can participate.
NOVEMBER MISSION OF THE MONTH
The November mission of the month will once again be Thanksgiving bags. This year they will be for Parkmoor Elementary. We may need as many as 40 bags full of items for a Thanksgiving meal for a family of 4-6 each.
Pick up your bag and a list of items to fill the bag in the church narthex and return by November 15. The mission committee will add turkeys before delivering them to Parkmoor school. The families greatly appreciate your support!
