TODAY
THE FLOWERS ON THE COMMUNION TABLE TODAY are given by Gail and Dick Pilgrim in honor of their 50th wedding anniversary on November 26.
UCC ANGEL TREE: Due to an overwhelming response all 50 of the angel tags were acquired last Sunday. We contacted Starkey and they suggested that if people still want to give they may make a monetary contribution and we will purchase additional gift cards. We welcome your additional donations and will have a table in fellowship hall for the next two Sundays to receive your contribution. You also may mail or deliver your check in person to our office any time before December 3.
IT’S POINSETTIA TIME! – If you would like to contribute to the Christmas floral display, please send a check for $13.50 to the church, payable to UCC by December 6, or you may put it in the offering plate today.
