Young Adult Ministry - Calling all young adults! Our monthly meeting of WWJB (What Would Jesus Brew?) will be at Aquia Episcopal Church on Tuesday, November 18th at 6:00pm. Dinner and childcare will be provided. Please RSVP to Fr. Kyle if you plan to attend so they can plan for dinner.
2026 Pledge Packet – The remaining pledge packets were mailed out this week. They can be returned by mail, email, or dropped in the offertory basket. Please return by Sunday, November 23rd.
Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child – We have 1 extra week for you to take a Shoebox from the Narthex. Please take more than one if you would like. There is a small insert in the box that details how to pack your box. Shoeboxes need to be returned by NEXT Sunday, November 23rd.
Also, you can build a shoebox online at www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/buildonline/. The website provides an easy, step-by-step guide to walk you through the process. Thank you for your continued generosity and support as we share the love of Christ around the globe!

They are asking for new, unwrapped toys for children of all ages. Thank you, COTM Family, for your continued generosity and kindness this season!
Altar Flowers – The 2025 calendar is in the Narthex. We have 1 SPOT OPEN on December 28 and then the 2025 calendar is filled.
