November 29, 2015 Announcements

 Thank You: Thanks to everyone who helped with our Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes this year. We reached a total of 54 boxes, very happy about that! Each box might be the only gift a child ever receives. Summerside area collected over 1100 and the PEI total was 5235. We will be having pizza along with our sandwiches and sweets after church today as a thank you to everyone, especially for the kids help in coloring letters and packing boxes. Watch the bulletin for ideas each month to purchase for next year’s boxes, buying a few items each month is an affordable way to fill as many boxes to help put smiles on children’s faces and spread the good news about God.

 ATTENTION: The committee collecting items for the two Syrian refugee families coming to Summerside in the near future are looking for household items such as snow shovels/scoops; rakes; household tools ( i.e. hammers, screwdrivers, scissors, etc.) and household items ( i.e. waste baskets, brooms, mops, scrub buckets, etc.). Play and art items for children also needed for boys aged 5 and 9 and girls aged 3 and 15. If anyone has items to donate please contact Carol Ann Newson at 902-436-9816.

 ATTENTION: The children’s church teachers are looking for assistants/helpers each week. There has been anywhere between 7-12 kids on a regular basis and it’s a bit busy for one person. You wouldn’t have to plan or teach anything; simply help with a craft, game and just general help. There will be a sign up sheet on the welcome center table.

 Chapel at MCC: You are invited to join us for chapel at Maritime Christian College after lunch on Wednesdays, at 1pm.

 Men’s Breakfast: December 5th @ Anson’s @ 8 a.m.

 The New Glasgow Christmas Choir: will present the musical play “Night Light” on Saturday, Dec. 5th and Sunday, Dec. 6th at the New Glasgow Christian Church at 7:30 p.m. Journey back to Bethlehem and enjoy this humorous retelling of the Christmas story. The church is located opposite the New Glasgow Lobster Suppers on Route 258 in New Glasgow. Admission is free but the choir hopes to raise enough money through donations to send a stable full of animals to a World Vision village.
