A few things that need special attention this weekend before Thanksgiving:

From Kathryn Tart: “Bread of Life Clinic for homeless men is in need of new or used men’s shoes. Please place the men’s shoes in a designated box in the narthex.

Annual Advent Workshop is ths Sunday at 6:30 PM. Cost: $15 per family. Bring cookies to share.

Northwest Assistance Ministries badly needs volunteer drivers for Meals on Wheels. Just 1 day a month for about 2 hours. Training is provided.

A couple of the ladies in Hosanna's ESL program are available to do babysitting, house cleaning or office cleaning. Look at the Bulletin Board in "This Week at Hosanna" for details.

Sunday, December 3, another important Congregation Meeting at 11 AM worship. There will be food as usual. The agenda includes: 2007 spending priorities, Pastor Tart's summer sabbatical and "For the good of the church" open forum. Come with ideas.

Today was the deadline for December Hotline articles. I plan to have it in the mail this coming Wednesday.

A Little Humor:

A Sunday school teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most quoted passages in the Bible, Psalm 23. She gave the youngsters amonth to learn the verse. Little Rick was excited but he just couldn't remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely get past the first line.

On the day the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation, Rickey was nervous. When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly, "The Lord is my Shepherd, and that's all I need to know."

Pray for those who grieve. Pray for those who are ill. Pray for the church everywhere. Pray for an end to violence in the Middle East, North Korea and here at home.

Have a good weekend and be safe if your traveling to be with family this next week.
