ANNOUNCEMENTS & EVENTS There will be a Business Meeting in the chapel tonight at 5:30 pm. The 2017 budget will be presented and discussed. A detailed budget is available in the Welcome Center. A vote by paper ballot will be Sunday, December 11 during the combined worship service at 11 am.

Campaign Brochures and Pledge Cards are available today in the Welcome Center and in the church office during the week.

The Campaign Finance Committee and Campaign Leadership Council will recommend to the church that notes payable be issued to members interested in investing either in three year notes that pay an annual rate of 1.65% or five year notes that pay an annual rate of 1.90% with interest paid on a quarterly basis. An investment in these notes will reduce the amount that the church must borrow from the bank and will probably increase the rate of return you are currently earning on your CDs or other fixed inter-est investments. If approved by the church, these notes will be issued starting January 15, 2017. Please contact the church office if you are interested.

A Prayer Guide for the 2016 Week of Prayer for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering/International Missions is in today’s program.

Sponsors are needed to assist students going to the Xtreme Win-ter Conference in Gatlinburg, TN on December 27-29. The cost per person is $130. If you are interested or need more information, please contact Jon Kyle.

Kids First Parent Connection - We will have a meeting for parents of kids 3 years old through 5th grade today at 4:30 pm in Room 310. We will be sharing the plans for the next semester and shar-ing dates for Kids Camp and other exciting things that are coming! Come join us.

Another Bulb Lighted - Have you noticed that five bulbs are now lighted in our lamppost as our World Mission Offering has reached $50,518? With each bulb represent-ing $10,000 that means we still have 9 bulbs to light before the end of this year if we are to exceed our goal. The blue

bordered envelope found behind each pew can be used for this mission offering. Check your bulletin to learn of some of the ways this offering will be used to change people’s lives.
