November 18th-24th
Young Adults Ministry - Calling all young adults! Our monthly meeting of WWJB (What Would Jesus Brew?) will be at COTM on Tuesday, November 19th at 6:00pm. Dinner and childcare will be provided. It’s a great opportunity to come together and connect over a meal and conversation. Please RSVP to Fr. Kyle if you plan to attend.
COTM Holiday Outreach – Thank you to everyone who donated food/gift cards for our Treasure House Thanksgiving collection along with returning your Shoeboxes for our Operation Christmas Child. Your generosity will provide great holiday meals for local families along with gift cards that will allow them to purchase other items. The shoeboxes will make a difference to our young children around the world as they receive and open them over the next month.
Toys for Tots – We have begun to collect. TOYS NEED TO BE UNWRAPPED and appropriate for children up to age 12. Please bring all donated items to the Narthex and place them in the bin under the table. December 8th is the last day to bring in donations. Thank you for your continued generosity. This year we are supporting The Marine Corps Reserve program Toys for Tots, who provide toys and books as well as other support programs to the less fortunate children in our community at Christmas and throughout the year.
Afternoon Gaming Social – There is no sign-up. Just come out and have fun! The next gaming social will be on Friday, November 22nd at 12:30pm in the Fellowship Hall. Please join us and play some games. Light refreshments will be served. Coffee, tea, water, lemonade provided. You can bring your own deck of cards and tiles. If you have any questions, please contact Katherine Meyer at 540.273.5243/meyerhs2005@gmail.com.
Altar Flowers – The 2024 calendar is in the Narthex. We have December 8 (1 SPOT) and 29 (2 spots) OPEN. Thank you for supporting the Altar Flower Ministry.
Coffee Hour Volunteers – We have November 24 and December 1, 8, 15, & 22 OPEN. COTM will provide coffee, tea, juice, or lemonade. This is a great time for fellowship! If you sign up, you will need to purchase and bring any type of light refreshments/snacks (of your choice), set-up, and clean-up. Please remember if you use the linen tablecloths, remove them from the tables if they are dirty and place them in the hamper to be washed. Also, if utensils are used, please make sure they are all cleaned thoroughly placed back in the drawers. We appreciate all your support to keep this going for the congregation.
