Weekly Announcements

November 9, 2025

NOTES ABOUT CTK: Our next Voters’ Meeting is November 23, 2025, after the second service. In that meeting we will vote on the constitutional amendments and elect officers. 

 ALTAR GUILD HELP NEEDED: We need three people to help the Altar Guild in the early service and four people in the late service. The Guild keeps the sanctuary in working order. It sets up and takes down for communion. It changes the paraments and banners to stay aligned with the seasons. It decorates the sanctuary for Lenten, Easter, Advent and Christmas seasons. If you feel you can help with this service or have more questions, please contact Deborah Montgomery (972-921-5320) or speak with her after services. Thank you!

SOCIAL MINISTRY AND OUTREACH NEXT ACTIVITY: On November 22nd, the Board is hosting the annual Thanksgiving Meal for Group Homes. To ensure everyone has enough to eat the committee is asking for donations of pies, dressing, gravy, and green beans. If you wish to donate anything to the auction, treat table, or the Thanksgiving meal, please talk to anyone on the Board. A word of thanks to all who made the Fall Festival such a great success! Over $7,400 (with more coming in) was raised to help support the ministry of Build-A-Bed! There are still some items left over if you wish to bid on them. Donations are always accepted.

BRING A FRIEND SUNDAY - The Board of Christian Education is encouraging our Sunday school students to bring a friend next week (and to Parents Night Out the night before) for a special friendship themed lesson and our fall service project! We also encourage adults to join in! Did you know, according to new research, "80% of non-churchgoers say they would attend if invited." (Relevant magazine) It doesn't have to be worship on a Sunday morning - small groups, fun events or something like the Thanksgiving dinner for shut-ins are all a great way to introduce someone to our church community.

SAVE THE DATE! Our annual Children and Youth Christmas program will be happening on Sunday December 14, 2025, during the 10:45am service. Following the service, we will have a potluck to celebrate all the hard work of the kids! Parents, watch for more information coming soon! 

TODAY’S FLOWERS: Today’s altar flowers are given by Jayton & Chloe Ferry to celebrate their 1st Wedding Anniversary!!

2026 FLOWER CHART IS UP!! Let’s make each Sunday even more special with a beautiful flower arrangement tailor made in honor of significant events or in memory of a loved one. Do not hesitate, sign up for that special Sunday. Contact Mary Caldwell 972-268-0858 with any questions regarding Altar Flowers.
