STEWARDSHIP SUNDAY SERVICE November 24, 2013 ,

10:00am

Beloved:

Following recent tradition, Stewardship Sunday will include youth

led worship and the preparation of a stone soup. This is the day

that pledge cards will be distributed together with the 2014

budget. There will be a single service at 10:00am on the 24th, fol-

lowed by a meeting and soup. There will be plenty to talk about.

I ask that the cards be returned the following week, the

first Sunday of Advent at both services.

In Christ

S T E W A R D S H I P

Save the Date!!!

November 21, 7:00-9:00pm, for the Silent Auction.

A lot of people are working very hard to make this a great occasion

and it should be a lot of fun. There are also some wonderful dona-

tions that we will be selling to raise $ for the water purification sys-

tem for Cuba and Fielés á Jesus . Many of you have already been

asked to help out and we appreciate all you are willing to do. If you

haven’t been asked yet, but you would like to participate please let me

know ASAP and we will put you to work!

All of you who have said you wanted to donate something for the

Auction, please have them in my office during the first week of No-

vember if possible. Now the big push is to advertise for the auction.

We need a lot of people to come buy all these great things. We have

a Mountain Retreat, jewelry, restaurant coupons, bowling coupons,

Gator and Seminole items, very nice dishes and a host of other

things that would make great Christmas gifts, especially the things

coming from our friends in Cuba. See you there and please invite all

of your friends to come too.

Condolences to the

Family and Friends of

Diana Blay,
