Sunday

This Sunday, come enjoy our talented kids as they present 
"The Orphans' Wish" during the 10:00 am Worship Service. This heartwarming story depicts the journey of a rambunctious group of orphans who are accompanied by three Children's Aid Workers as they travel from New York to Missouri in the year 1922. 
   
Please join us as we share another example of God's amazing love and plan for even "the smallest of these."
Reception for Patricia

Please stay after service Sunday for a reception for Patricia to honor and thank her for her years of love and service to Deerbrook Covenant Church and our children.

Children's Ministry Hiring Team Update
Thanks to all who took the time last Sunday to complete the survey regarding Our Children's Ministry. If you have not completed a survey yet, additional copies are available in the back of the sanctuary. You may also contact the hiring team or church office to request that a survey be mailed or emailed to you directly. The deadline for surveys to be returned is December 1. Don't miss the opportunity to participate in this important part of the process!

Please continue to pray for Patricia, for the hiring team, and for the new Children's Director - that God will lead us clearly on His path toward coming together.
