This month's collection is for the Servant Fund.  Contributions can be given to Bro. Jerry Wagenbach or placed in the special collection box under the bulletin board.

HarvestCall sewing is this Tuesday at 10:00 AM.

The money collected in Sunday School for the months of November and December will be used for buying Christmas gifts for local needy families. This year we will be buying gifts for two families from Mediapolis - a single mother with two kids and a single father with two kids. In the past few years, we have collected around $1000 each year. This year we'd like to target around $2000, as we will also be providing food items, toiletries, and household items along with the gifts. Thank you!

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 waitlist 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

Having the all church Christmas caroling at church last year received good feedback and support.  We plan to continue this going forward.  This year we are making an open invitation to the community to join us for a “Community Christmas Hymn Sing” instead of limiting to invitations like last year.  Invitations will be hung at some local businesses and also shared electronically, but feel free to personally invite those that you know would like to come.  The date is December 13th at 4:45 with singing beginning promptly at 5:00.  An email with more detailed information concerning signing up to help and bring food will be coming out in the near future.

It is time to compile the all-church rotating potluck list for 2026.  An email with details was sent this past week.  If you would like to be included in 2026 or have questions please contact Sis. Renee Schulz  by Nov 30.

Save the date: Mediapolis communion is set for March 28.  Burlington communion is scheduled for March 21.
