This Week at North Anderson

Good morning, North Anderson!

As this note is being typed, there are several members of our church family busy decorating North Anderson for the Christmas Season! It truly is the "most wonderful time of the year" and we are looking forward to celebrating the birth of the King with you throughout December!

As you already know, due to the Thanksgiving Holidays, there will be no services this Wednesday or Men's Bible Study on Thursday, so there's not a whole lot to say about "This week at North Anderson" other than Happy Thanksgiving!

Yet, I did want to remind you of a couple of things that are going on over the next couple of weeks!

THIS SUNDAY - We will start a brand-new sermon series, called "A Timeless Christmas: Celebrating Christmas In The Old Testament"

Be sure to join us for Bible Fellowship Classes at 9:15am and Worship at 10:30am. Please invite someone to be your guest as for many people, the Christmas season brings about an openness to spiritual things and a willingness to take you up on the offer!

MISSIONS CONFERENCE - We're so excited to be offering our first Missions Conference on Saturday, December 7th (6:00pm) and Sunday, December 8th (10:30am). This conference will be an opportunity for us to really get focused on the mission of God and inspired to join Him on mission! Our conference speakers will be Dr. Tony Wolfe, Executive Director of the South Carolina Baptist Convention on Saturday and Dr. Kevin Ezell, President of The North American Mission Board on Sunday.

CHRISTMAS BASKETS FOR HOMEBOUND/SHUT-IN MEMBERS:
We will be collecting the following items through Sunday, December 15th and distributing them afterwards:
Pocket sized packs of tissue
Body wash
Small writing tablets
Men’s white socks
Body lotion
Ink pens
Soft peppermint
Financial donations from individuals or Bible Fellowship Classes that will be used to purchase these items are also welcome. Simply designate the offering or give it directly to Mrs. Judy Brown

We are currently in the process of updating our Deacon Family Ministry Plan.

You can expect to hear from the Deacon who'll be serving you in 2025 sometime in December.
