What's Happening This Week: November 13
Inside: Too much to list...
Shew, y'all, we are in a full sprint here in the office. We have lots of things coming up... budget presentation and vote, advent books, hanging of the green service, kids choirs practicing and singing, Christmas gifts to buy for kids in Foster care, concerts, construction project and more!
I'm doing to do my best to make this email as concise and helpful as possible, but as always, if you have any questions, please send me an email! ctarver@fbcthomson.org!
Let's start with this Sunday....
If you ordered a church t-shirt, they're here! I will have them at the atrium desk after church on Sunday.
Also available at the desk this Sunday will be the names and wish lists for the kids in Foster Care. We have 41 kids this year... more than we have ever had in the past so please plan to grab a name and help a child and foster care family out this Christmas. We have taken each wish list and tried to estimate the price so you can have a general idea of how much you will need to spend. Estimates range from $150-$300 per child, so there's something for every budget! You can also go in with a friend or family member!
At 5:00 PM we are going to have our Budget Presentation and dinner. From 5-5:30 PM everyone will be in the fellowship hall for dinner. At 5:30 we will dismiss the choir kids (all choirs... TinyTots, TinyKid, and TeamKid) to go to the gym for choir practice. There will also be nursery available starting at 5:30.
Then after the budget presentation we will have a family movie night. Initially this was going to be outside in the park like we have done the last few years, but it's going to be pretty cold Sunday night, so we are moving the movie inside.
On Saturday, November 21, beginning at 8:00 AM, we will be putting together all of our Drive-Thru Nativity Sets. You know the drill, many hands make light work.
Speaking of many hands, we will also be decorating the church for Christmas on Friday the 27th. If you're available, come help!
On Satuday, November 28, we kick off the Christmas Season with our annual concert featuring the Mark Trammell Quartet and the Wisnants. Doors open at 5:00 PM and the concert is free! A love offering will be received at the end of the concert.
Starting Sunday, November 29, Our Lottie Moon post office will be available in the atrium! This was a big fundraiser for us last year, and dare I say, more reliable than the post office.
Speaking of the 29th.... That is the first Sunday of Advent and our Hanging of the Green service. Advent devotion books will be available in worship that day.
Also on the 29th.. all of the kids choirs will meet for practice from 5:30-7:30 PM. We will provide pizza for dinner. Please plan to drop kids off at the front entrance by the fountains. Chic-Fil-A will be using our Fellowship Hall for their Christmas Party that night, so the parking lot will be full.
On Tuesday, December 1, the kids will be singing at the Tree Lighting at the Piedmont McDuffie Hospital. The ceremony starts at 7:00 PM, but kids should plan to arrive by 6:45 PM.
