Holiday News / Ministries

Church-wide Thanksgiving Dinner

Our church-wide Thanksgiving dinner will be held Sunday, November 23rd, from 11:15 am - 12:45 pm. This will be a come-and-go event to allow people to come after church services and/or Sunday school. We do ask that those wishing to attend to register so that we have an accurate count for the caterers. There are sign-up sheets at all entrances to the sanctuary, or you can contact Bethany Dean in the church office. The deadline to register is Thursday, November 13th. This will be a combined dinner with our brothers and sisters from FBC.

Canned Food Drive

Each year Mission Marshall provides Christmas-oriented foods to clients in December so that they can provide a Christmas dinner for their families. Marshall churches sign up to provide certain foods to make this possible. This year 1st Methodist has pledged to provide 250 cans of cranberry sauce. If you would like to donate, there will be two boxes available (lobby & nursery entrance) to drop off cans. They will be delivered to Mission Marshall on November 20th.

Operation Christmas Child / Shoebox Ministry

It is that time of year when we begin to prepare our hearts for the celebration of the birth of our Savior. And what better way to prepare than to fill a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child (OCC), a project of Samaritan's Purse. OCC delivers into the hands of children all around the world, not only gifts to light up their world but most importantly, the gospel to fill their souls. Since 2009, over 46 million children have participated in a 12-lesson discipleship course, The Greatest Journey, and over half of those have made a decision for Christ. Won't you please help us this year by filling a shoebox for a needy child to show them God's love in a tangible way? Shoeboxes are available for pickup at the entrance to the church. Shoeboxes will be blessed on Sunday, November 16th. If you have any questions, please email Ruth Wilson. (6wilson@sbcglobal.net)

Stay tuned for updates as we continue to add new activities to our calendar!

Pastor David's sermon this Sunday will focus on being excited and ready for the return of Jesus Christ. Sermon notes can be found on our website under the "Resources" tab.

We pray you have a wonderful week going forward and hope to see you soon!
