This week's announcements:
The Mission Partner Catalogs are being distributed starting today, Nov. 11th, you can view the booklet online at ljpres.org/missions. We want to help you discover unique Christmas gifts for your family and friends. Drop off your payments at the courtyard table on Sundays or at the front desk through Dec. 31st. Thanks so much for supporting our Mission Partners.
We have refugee families supported by our Mission Partners who have little means to celebrate Christmas. If you or your Growth Group would like to Adopt A Family for Christmas, or Fill A Bag with needed supplies(from cleaning to diapers to hygiene), please stop by the table in the courtyard this Sunday, or email Michelle Whitney at michellew@ljpres.org.
The holiday season is especially tough when we are grieving the loss of loved one, so we are offering a holiday grief class called, Surviving the Holidays on Sunday, Nov. 18th at 10am in room LC3. In this class we will lift each other up amid our shared loss, and explore ways in which the Lord can guard us and guide us graciously through a suddenly altered season.For more information, contact Rev. Scott Mitchell at scottm@ljpres.org.
Rev. Scott is also offering a Blue Christmas Service on Friday, Nov.30th, from 3 to 5pm in room LC1 & Chapel. The holidays can be a difficult time for those who have suffered the loss of a loved one. Recognizing this, we invite you to gather with us for a Blue Christmas Service of Remembrance Reception, followed by the service of remembrance in the Chapel. Please feel welcome to bring a family member or friend. Contact Rev. Scott Mitchell at scottm@ljpres.org.
