Prayer Notes:

- Patrick Sladkey is now recovering at home, but we continue our prayers for him that the Lord would give him strength and positive steps toward good health again.

Other Notes:

- Youth and Teen Bible study, and Confirmation Class will meet on Sunday, but the adult study does not because...

All are invited to an Open Forum in the Fellowship Hall between services on Sunday to review the proposed 2026 Ministry Plan (and financials), along with an update on the church renovation project, and a couple new technology pathways being developed.  

- Thank you to all who helped with Christmas decorating last night.

- Be sure to stop at the information table for Christmas things.

- Our annual Christmas coat and blanket drive has begun.

"Happy Birthday" to: Haley Fricke (7), Maggie Sims Schwall (11), and Harper Gantt (12).

"Happy Anniversary" to: (None, according to our records.)

That's all for this week.

God's blessing on your day.
