This month's collection is for the Servant Fund.  The Servant Fund provides modest financial support for living expenses of brethren sent as full time missionaries by HarvestCall.  Contributions can be given to Bro. Jerry Wagenbach or placed in the special collection box under the bulletin board.

Jamaica was recently struck by Hurricane Melissa with some areas receiving significant damage. HarvestCall is currently assessing the situation to determine how best to respond. At this time there are no intentions to have a local collection for this disaster, however if you feel moved to donate to the Jamaica disaster, you can do so either directly to HarvestCall or you can give them to Bro. Ryan Frank and he will forward them for you.  If you have not already signed up for HarvestCall emails, you can do so on their website at Harvestcall.org and you will receive updates on this and other situations as they arise. Information can also be found on the HarvestCall website, or on their Facebook page.

A link is below to an update from HarvestCall with more details on the Jamaica Disaster.

Volunteers Needed:  HarvestCall’s next large-scale Rebuilding Ministry project will be in Acadia Parish Louisiana.  Acadia Parish in southern Louisiana experienced excessive rainfall in 2025, causing significant damage to houses, some still waiting for help after Hurricanes Laura and Delta in 2020. They are in need of our help to repair and rebuild their homes and lives.  HarvestCall will be helping underserved people who suffered loss and are unable to recover on their own. While construction is the obvious activity of this ministry, the primary goal is to share the love of Christ and proclaim the Gospel.

• Forty volunteers are needed each week starting January 11, 2026 and continuing through March 27, 2026. If you find that the weeks are full, put your name on the wait list so we know that you would like to help.

• Skilled tradesmen AND unskilled workers are needed, as are those with a passion to share the Gospel with those we serve.

• Online registration is required for all volunteers and opens at noon Central time on Wednesday, November 19th at www.harvestcall.org

The Burlington singing is this evening at 7:00.

This Friday is singing at Addington Place in Burlington starting at 6:30.
