Pinecrest Retreat
PLEASE NOTE: Advent Arlington is heading to Pinecrest for the day on Sunday, November 16th. We will meet at the church at 10:30 am and carpool to the Pinecrest Retreat Center past Moscow. It should take a little under an hour to get there. After arriving we will eat lunch together (all is provided) and meet with our small groups to discuss what's going on and where we're going as a church. At 1:30 pm we will gather in the beautiful chapel for worship. You are free to leave following worship, or spend the afternoon enjoying the outdoors. Be sure to let any guests and friends know about this change. If you could drive a church van that day please let me know. It will be a fun day!
Stewardship
Thank you to all who have pledged to give to Advent Church in 2009. If you have not done so, please prayerfully decide the amount of money you and your family pledge for the coming year, complete a pledge card, and place it in the offering plate on any Sunday.
Operation Christmas Child
Remember to bring your shoeboxes and/or items to fill them up this Sunday. This great ministry delivers these boxes of toys and personal hygeine items directly to individual children in third world countries. Contact Annette Johnson at 867-7543 if you have any questions.
Newsletter
Tracey Moss is busy compiling photos and stories for our first Advent at Arlington newsletter. We will send out e-newsletters on a regular basis. Contributors are needed. Do you have a story about something or someone associated with Advent at Arlington? Let Tracey know by contacting her at tracey.moss@hilton.com or 867-0420.
Christmas Parade
Advent at Arlington will have a float in the Arlington Christmas Parade on Saturday afternoon, December 6th. We will have our praise band and singers on the float. We are looking for volunteers to prepare and decorate the float. Let me (Don at 483-7295) know if you would like to help.
Help Our Children's Ministry
Annette Johnson and Heather Orozco are leading our children's ministry. They are recruiting teachers and assistant teachers for Sunday mornings. Let them know if you can help. Another way you can help our children is by donating new or gently used toys and equipment for our nursery and the Kid's Kottage. A playground set is also needed.
Praise Team
Our worship leader, Chris Cardona, and the praise team are still open to more musicians and singers. If you are interested, give Chris a call at 901-849-8219 or just show up at rehearsal. Praise Team Rehearsal is at the Arlington Church each Wednesday at 7:00 pm. |
