Calendar and Announcements for November 13, 2011

The Mission of the United Methodist Church is to go and make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
Here are some ways you can do so.

Bulletin Deadline: 5:00 Wednesdays
(Note: The e-mail address for bulletin submissions is now wcottle@susumc.org)
Events on the Charge
• Today Nov. 13: CM Shoeboxes due for Operation Christmas Child
• Nov. 19, 6 PM: CM Removing Christmas Decorations from the attic, putting up tree.
• Nov. 20, 12:30: CM Christmas Decorating
• Dec. 1, 7:30 CM Admin. Council
• Dec. 5, 1:30 PM DH Admin Council and Trustees, at Faux home.

During the past two years, Center Moreland UMC has “borrowed” over $14, 000 from our building fund to cover operating expenses. The likelihood of needing to transfer more from this fund, dedicated solely to the expansion of the church facilities, is very strong as the weather gets colder and heating oil and electricity use goes up. If you do not already regularly financially support the congregation and its ministries, please consider doing so.

For all events please call Doug or Nancy Jones at 333-4608 for more information or to RSVP
Youth Mission Project: SoC is collecting toiletries for use by flood victims. Please bring in unopened toothbrushes and toothpaste, soap, shampoo, lotions, etc.

The Center Moreland Charge has begun collecting winter clothing items, such as coats, gloves, hats, long underwear, etc. for use by flood victims as the weather turns colder. As you bring out your winter clothing, please consider donating usable items this fall!

Bible Study
We will be continuing a study of the Old Testament books of Ezra and Nehemiah. The Bible study time has changed to Thursday at 3:00. Anyone who would want to join us should please just bring their Bibles.
