ADVENT BY CANDLELIGHT: This
special evening will be an opportunity for adults (confirmed and older) of the
congregation to set aside the hustle and bustle of holiday preparations and
focus on the birth of Christ. It will be
held on Sunday, November 29, at 6:30 PM.
The evening will include readings, a variety of music, and
desserts. This will be an elegant,
relaxing evening of friendship and preparation for the true meaning of
Christmas. Reservations are needed, but
the event is free. Sign-up will be held
Nov. 1-Nov. 22.
HOSTESS OPPORTUNITIES: Want to ensure you have a seat at this
year’s Advent By Candlelight? Volunteer
to be a table hostess, and we will reserve a chair for you! Hostesses provide table settings, holiday
decorations, candles, and a dessert for a
table of 8-10 people. Many
partner with one or two to host a table.
It is lots of fun, and requires only a few hours of your time for
planning, baking (or buying) and decorating.
If you would like to host a table this year (or need more information
before committing), please call or email Lindsay Paluch at 213-750-1256 or lpaluch@whitecreek.org.
CHURCH HISTORY:
In November of 1935, it was voted to look into purchasing new pews. The old pews were shorter because of the
placement of the pot belly stoves and the pipes extending from them. There were no pews that went from aisle to
window. The old pews had center dividers
that extended from the ceiling to the top of the pew. These pews had straight seats and straight
backs. They were hard and uncomfortable!
2015 PLEDGES for our school expansion are due by
October 31. The updated current balance
yet outstanding is $215,000.
EYEGLASSES NEEDED:
MOST Ministries will be taking a Mission Trip to Nicaragua next
June. The people there have a great need
for eyeglasses - adult, children, non-prescription sunglasses, and over-the-counter
reading glasses. Glasses cases would
also be appreciated. Jean Voelker has
put a box in the narthex through the end of October for this collection and
will see that the glasses get to someone going on this trip. Your donations will bring sight!
FISH FRY:
St. Peter, Waymansville, Adult Fellowship will sponsor its Annual Fish
Fry this evening from 4:00-7:00 PM. Supplemental funds will be provided by
