Hello and welcome to the middle of November....it’s almost Thanksgiving! This week (during potluck) BGSC will host a double baby shower for Christy Griffett Greeman & Sarah Jane Boyson Calvert (who are due with baby girls in January)! Both ladies are registered at Buy Buy Baby. We look forward to hosting all of the friends, family & guests they have invited to join us for this special occasion.
As always, we look forward to seeing you & your family too! Our potluck theme is “Thanksgiving Dinner.” Bring a favorite holiday dish to share. We could still use a few sides & a few pies! Last week we passed a sign up sheet around during potluck...so for reference, here is what we have coming already....
Dressed eggs
Stuffed celery sticks
Green bean casserole
Mashed potatoes & gravy
“Turkey & stuffing”
Cranberry sauce
Broccoli casserole
Corn pudding
Brussel sprouts
Macaroni & Cheese
Rolls, butter
Pumpkin Pie, whipped cream
This week is the last time we will collect items for the 2 Thanksgiving baskets we are giving to needy families. Look for both of the “Thanksgiving Baskets” in the fellowship hall during potluck. Here is a list of what we still need...
2 large cans of yams or sweet potatoes
2 bags of marshmallows
3 cans green beans
2 cans cranberry sauce
6 cans corn
2 bags baking potatoes
2 bags onions
2 pkgs gravy mix
2 boxes stuffing mix
2 boxes macaroni and cheese or rice
2 cake mix’s/2 cans frosting
oil
juice (sparkling grape or cranberry)
The adult Bible study will take place in the fellowship area by the fireplace while the youth meet in the adjacent side rooms. Come enjoy a bite of breakfast or a hot drink before diving into the lesson study together. And kiddos....come ready to write/color in your sketchbooks & have song service with our ukuleles!
Have we missed anyone’s birthday or anniversary? Please let us know so we can update our list!
Would anyone be willing to host a holiday movie night or game night at their home??
Our annual Christmas program will be here before we know it.....if you are willing to participate in music, song, prayer, scripture, or through a Christmas story....please let us know! We will also be coordinating an afternoon of caroling in December....hope you can join us!
Don’t forget to bring your prayer requests each week ~ we have index cards available so you can make notes & share them during the worship service. See Grace Anderson if you would like your requests added to the prayer chain...
We love participation in our worship service....so if you would ever like to sing or play a song, read a scripture, tell a children’s story, or help in any other way....please let us know! And if you would like to coordinate a community volunteer activity for our group ~ we are always searching for new ideas!
