Youth Project: Exam Kits
Our November project is with our local Campus Ministries. We will be providing Exam Goodie Bags for our area College students through the local campus ministries. We will be packing those during Lighthouse next week. We need items for these kits such as pens, pencils, ramen, individual serving packs of coffee and tea, soft drinks (in cans) small bags of chips, sweets (including items like small hard candies, candy bars, granola bars, etc.) Any items that will help make long hours of studying easier! Items should be individually wrapped. We will be packing them into gallon zip-lock bags for delivery to the student center.

Council on Aging Box Collection
Every year, the Council on Aging fills boxes with good things for the disabled and Homebound in Jackson County. They ask that the items be put in a wrapped box. There are several wrapped boxes in the Loving Kindness Room with a list inside of needed items.
If you can help with this project, please take a box, fill it and either return it to the Church or take it to the Senior Service Center before November 30. Thanks for your help with this giving project and bringing joy to others!
Christmas Break Food Bag Project
United Christian Ministries’ annual food drive to collect food for school children and their families during the Christmas break. This year, our church has committed to collect 250 boxes of cereal. The cereal we collect will be combined with other food items in a bag and will be a blessing to families who struggle with good insecurity. Please drop off regularly sized boxes of cereal (not the family sized boxes, please, as they are too big for the food bags) in the Loving Kindness Room outside of the church sanctuary. Our offering of cereal boxes is due by December 15.

Hurray for Our Nursery Workers of the Week!
Thank you to Beth Moore who covered the nursery last week.
We appreciate your willingness to be available when help is needed.
This Sunday, November 6, Janelle Messerwill be in charge of the nursery.
Thank you, Janelle.
There is still room on the schedule to serve “the least of these”
on Sunday mornings. It is a blessing to see their smiles and enthusiasm as you spend
time with our infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
Please contact Cheryl Beck (cabeck@ncsu.edu) if you would like to help.
What’s Your Favorite Bible Verse?
The children's Sunday School class wants to know! They are asking folks to write out their favorite verse and their name on a piece of paper located in a basket in the vestibule over the next 2 Sundays. Return the verse to the basket and the children will add it to their favorite verses on a bulletin board outside the Children's Sunday School room. This will make a great intergenerational bulletin board and a wonderful way for the children to learn more about the Bible and our congregation. Thank you for your help!
