Shepherds- The Shepherds would like to thank everyone who baked or delivered cookies to the shut-ins. They were all very thankful. Also a big thank you to Nevin and Judy Ulery for gifting the nativity sets. It was a wonderful blessing!
Highlander- Please get your articles in for the highlander so that Phil can get it out early in January!
Elizabeth Salvation Army Kettle Drive–In the lobby please consider giving to our local Salvation Army that serves the Elizabeth and surrounding local areas. The need is great this year and the funds collected are used to assist local families with necessities like rent, utilities and food. The kettle will be in the Narthex until December 31st. If writing a check, please make payable to the Elizabeth Salvation Army. Thank you for your generosity.
2025 Servers– If you would like to help serve as a greeter or an usher next year reach out to Phil in the office so he can put you on the rotation. This also goes if you would not like to serve next year so that Phil can figure out the plan. Thank you!
Emergency Forms– In the lobby on the desk we have bright yellow emergency forms that are free for the taking. They’re designed to be placed on your refrigerator and will have all of your medical and emergency contact information in the event of an emergency.

“Early Dinner” every Thursday @ 4:00 pm– a group meets at local restaurants for a time of fellowship and good food! You don’t need to attend every week but whatever your schedule permits.

The Outreach Committee has a collection container on the desk in the Narthex!!

Please remember to recycle the caps—not just for charity, but for the environment!! “Tabs with a Purpose” – the Outreach Committee is collecting “tabs” from the top of soup, canned goods, beverage cans, and cat food for the Ronald McDonald House in Pittsburgh. Your TRASH gives them CASH! Please deposit them in the container in the Narthex.
