Canned Food Given at Trunk or Treat
For those who participated in Trunk or Treat at the end of October, they were invited to bring a canned food item to share with MCSA. Thanks to the help of those who participated, we filled 2 1/2 grocery carts full! Thanks for doing God’s Work with your hands!

Christmas Poinsettias
By Sunday, Dec. 5
Can you help us decorate the sanctuary for Advent and Christmas? We will be purchasing white poinsettias using funds collected last year for Christmas décor. These poinsettias will be used through Advent and Christmas. However, we’d also like to supplement with some red poinsettias for our celebration of Christmas. Can you help us?
If so, a sign up sheet is in the narthex. There is also room to indicate if you would like your poinsettia purchased in honor/memory of someone. Cost for poinsettias is $12. Not at the church, but want to get your name on the list? Contact Kathy.
Advent: Close to Home
Sunday, November 28
There’s something special about “coming home.” For some, coming home is returning to family, or childhood homes. For others, coming home is less about a place, and more about the people you’re with.
This Advent, we’re focusing on the theme “Close to Home.” Ultimately, God is our home and resting place. As we prepare for Jesus’ birth, we’ll remember God’s promise that He draws near and makes a home on earth with us.
Note in coming weeks we’ll be sharing more information about our coming Advent season, and ways you can participate! We look forward to this sacred journey with you!
