Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! This coming Sunday, the 29th, is the first Sunday of Advent! Over the next month, keep checking the blog for Christmas-y announcements, words of wisdom, and devotionals! Keep in mind that services are combined during Advent: there is no 8:30 service, only an 11:00 one.
Announcements:
- Wednesday on Tuesday: If you are involved in Wednesday night activities at church, remember that Wednesday night activities are being held TONIGHT so your Thanksgiving Eve is free to spend with your family.
- Grant Williams is performing in a Houston Tidelanders Christmas concert on Saturday, December 5 at 2:30 and 7:30. Visit http://www.houstontidelanders.org/ for more details or to purchase tickets.
- Youth Wrapping Fundraiser: If you need to get some presents wrapped but don't have the time, bring your gifts to the Youth Center on Saturday, December 5. They will be wrapped and ready for pickup the next morning, for a charge of $1 to $3 each (depending on size and shape). All proceeds will be used to send our youth to camp, mission trips, and other activities.
- Cookies and Carols: Help spread the joy of Christmas by joining the church in caroling for nursing homes and homebound members. We will meet on December 6 at 12:00pm in the Fellowship Hall.
- This December, several of South Main's own are going to spend a Buckner Christmas in Peru, during which they will visit orphanages and distribute Christmas gifts and humanitarian aid.
