Announcements

Church Council will meet this Wednesday at 7:00pm. Devotions: Kathy.

Next week’s offering will be divided evenly between Virginia Mennonite Missions and Virginia Mennonite Conference.

You are invited to a Wycliffe Associates dinner on November 14 at the Staunton Holiday Inn. This fundraising meal will be followed by a brief presentation from Wycliffe. There is a promotional flyer on the bulletin board providing additional information. Reservations can be made by contacting Glenn or Kathy Zendt.

Please consider donating from a list of items for Thanksgiving boxes to be distributed by the Valley Mission. We will be collecting the nonperishable foods at the front of the sanctuary through November 15.

Please pray for:

• Hunter Russell, as he recovers from kidney surgery.
• The credentialed leaders gathering in Harrisonburg this week for a three-day consultation on the church’s relation to the LGBTQ community.
 

 

Mark 12:44, “They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything
all she had to live on.”

Two small coins

Praising/Adoring

All: Praise the Lord!
Leader: Praise the one who surprises us with plenty
in times of want.
People: Praise the one who welcomes the stranger
in times of loneliness.
Leader: Praise the one who opens the eyes of the blind,
who breaks down the gates of every prison,
who lifts up the downtrodden.
All: Praise the Lord!

Offering

Two small coins,
two copper pennies,
a measure of meal,
and a little oil in the jar.
Yet these are enough, O God,
and worthy of your work.
We pray that you will bless the increase. Amen.

Sending/Blessing

Go boldly from here,
trusting that the hand that made heaven and earth,
the seas and all that is in them,
is with you in places of uncertainty
and lighting your way with hope.
—Emily Toews, Drake, Saskatchewan
