Weekly Update, November 1st, 2024
Hi church,
Daylight savings time ends this weekend so be sure to “fall back” an hour before going to bed Saturday night!
Creativity Workshop
Ladies, join us for a night of fellowship and creativity! On Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 6:30pm, Julie Golihew, a talented crafter, will guide us through making a Christmas craft we will take home! Julie will bring all the supplies, the directions, and the talent - we will simply follow her instructions! The sample of what we will be making is at the Connect Center. We will also enjoy fellowship and snacks. This event is open to ladies 6th grade and up. Please invite your friends and family. Let us know who will be attending by signing up in the church app, at the Connect Center, or by using this link Creativity Workshop Registration . Please sign up sooner rather than later so we can ensure we have enough supplies for all!
Widow’s Walk Potluck
The Widow’s Walk group will be having a potluck lunch on Sunday, Nov. 10th after the service in room 111. Fried chicken and bottled water will be provided. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share. Sign up at the Connect Center, in the church app, or by using this link Widow's Walk Potluck Signup.
Operation Christmas Child National Collection Week
Weems Creek Church is a national drop-off site for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. We will be collecting from Nov. 18-24. There are several volunteer positions available for each time slot:
• Greeters (cheerful greeting, invite donor to learn more, offer to pray with them for the child that will receive the shoebox, sincere “Thank you”)
• Unloaders/Documenters (unload shoeboxes, count and document boxes received)
• Cartonizers (load shoeboxes into cartons and seal)
• Hospitality (bring snacks, drinks, crafts, simple games to offer donors that come inside).
How can you help? There are morning and evening time slots available.
GriefShare
GriefShare is a biblically based, Christian grief recovery support group where you can find help and healing for the hurt of losing a loved one. Our next session will begin Nov. 17 and meet Sunday afternoons from 3pm-4:15pm in room 106. B.J. Hallmark will be leading this group. Participants must register online at griefshare.org. Fee for materials and supplies is $20, payable to Weems Creek. If you need help with registering, please stop by the Connect Center or see B.J.
Weems Creek Apparel
We are offering newly branded shirts, polos, sweatshirts, hoodies, and jackets for purchase! Our hope is for these shirts to be used at ministry and outreach events and to represent our church in the community. They would also make great Christmas gifts! Apparel must be purchased through this link: https://stores.inksoft.com/_WCC/shop/home and ordered by Sunday, 11/17. After the order window has closed, all shirts will be delivered to Weems Creek Church for pick up.
Veteran’s Day Tribute Video
Sandy McCarthy is updating our video tribute to the service men and women of our church. If you are serving or have served in the military, please email a photo (in uniform, if possible) to Sandy McCarthy (sandygramms@gmail.com) by THIS Sunday. Please reach out to her if you need to update a previous submission.
Team Emert Shirts
Deadline to order has been extended! The last day to order is THIS Sunday. As a church, we have been praying for Tom Emert and his family during his cancer treatments. As a show of support, his Sunday school class designed Team Emert shirts. Several people have expressed an interest in purchasing the shirts. If you would like to order one, please click here: https://jobs-move-04j.craft.me/qvNV0YhbOxwByj. These shirts are not part of a fundraiser, they are simply to show our support.
Blessings!
Pastor Bryan
