Weekly Check-In - November 1, 2025
Our partnership with Bullitt Central continues as we move towards the Thanksgiving holiday. Back in September we collected mac and cheese to go in food prepared to go home with students for fall break. The request that we will be working on for the next three Sundays (November 2, 9, and 16) is stuffing and cranberry sauce. We have three weeks to bring those items and then we will deliver them to Christy Hardin at BC where they will be sent home with students at Thanksgiving Break.

The new doors are in place for the Activities Building. Many of you helped by contributing to this project and under the guidance and persistence of Ray Baker and Rick Caple, the door folks were here this week! Thanks to everyone who made this possible - the old doors served us well, but the new ones will make locking and unlocking a whole lot easier moving forward. Also, they look great!

There will be an Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes packing party after worship next Sunday, November 9 immediately following morning worship. Rebecca Rink and Nate will have all that we need to pack the boxes. Also if anyone would like to pack a box on your own, there are boxes in the entryway of the church for you to take and fill along with tags that lead you through the process. All shoeboxes are due on November 23 and will be dedicated that day in worship.

The Presbyterian Women’s Christmas Bazaar is coming on Saturday, December 6 from 9:00 a.m. till 2:00 p.m. Cookie baking in preparation for the Bazaar will take place on Monday, December 1. Also, space is available for vendors for the Bazaar.

Hanging of the Greens: We hope you will plan to stay after worship on Sunday, November 23 to help us decorate the Sanctuary for the Advent/Christmas season! We’ll decorate right after church and then we will have two kinds of soup and one chili courtesy of Session members Joyce Jaco, Leigh Shader, and Mike Streible.

The scripture for tomorrow is Psalm 32:1-7 and Luke 19:1-10. The sermon is “Coming To Terms With Our Stuff.” Look forward to seeing you in worship tomorrow morning at 11:00 a.m. - and you are always invited to join us for Sunday School (we are currently doing a DVD study on Jesus’s parables) at 9:45 a.m.
Celebrate Life!
