November 11, 2009
Several events are coming up soon at Prescott Church, including some (see this Saturday at 5:00 p.m. for example) not previously announced. Please mark your calendars.
SATURDAY, NOV. 14
9:45 a.m. Worship Committee meets
11:00 a.m. Church Council meets – bring your own lunch.
5:00-8:00 p.m. Reception honoring Maxine Bankston and Angela Baker on the occasion of their 25th anniversary. We’ll have punch and other refreshments. Drop by and congratulate Maxine and Angie!
SUNDAY, NOV. 15
10:45 a.m. During worship we’ll receive a special offering for ABC World Missions. Afterward we’ll gather in Fellowship Hall to hear a report on the congregational discussions the past three Wed. nights on Seeking Our Vision.
SATURDAY, NOV. 21
6:30 p.m. GLBT meets
SUNDAY, NOV. 22
10:45 a.m. During worship we’ll receive an offering for Neighborhood Outreach.
7:00 p.m. All University Cluster Church members are invited to a contemporary service at St. Luke’s Methodist Church celebrating Thanksgiving and featuring our favorite "turkey" to which participants will attach Food Pantry offerings.
TUESDAY, NOV. 24
6:30 p.m. We’ll have our 26th annual Thanksgiving dinner in Fellowship Hall, with the combined congregations of Prescott, Beulah Baptist, and the Unitarian Fellowship. We generally have a huge crowd for this potluck feast, so please bring plenty of food – more than just for yourself. As is our custom, we’ll pray and sing and talk, and of course eat.
WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY, NOV. 25-27
Because we’ll be partied out from the previous day, on this Wednesday we’ll have no dinner and no program, and the church office will be closed Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving.
SATURDAY, NOV. 28
Come to St. Luke’s Methodist at 3:00 p.m. (or earlier if you can help cook) to help serve Saturday Supper. We expect a larger than usual crowd for this event, which will feature Thanksgiving turkey and all the trimmings. Instead of the usual cafeteria line, we’re going to serve our guests at their tables. Our sisters and brothers from Beulah Baptist will be there to work with us, once again partners in Christ. People of all ages can help.
NOTE: It will be our turn to do Saturday Supper again on Dec. 19, the Saturday before Christmas. Once again we’ll serve our guests at tables, and in addition we’ll have Christmas presents to hand out. We especially need donations of mittens, hats, scarves, for all ages. If you’d like to make a donation for this purpose, you can do it through the church as a designated offering or give money to Ruth Holland, who can buy such items wholesale.
SATURDAY, DEC. 5
5:00 p.m. Children ages 3 through 12 will meet in the church parking lot and drive to Starry Nights. The church will pay for the children. Please let Ruth Holland know if you can help with transportation.
SATURDAY, DEC. 12
