I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving ! And are all doing well. This year things are so different with covid. No big gatherings. No Christmas play. No church dinners. I find it very depressing! But Pleasant Ridge Church of Christ is going on with the spirit of giving. We are doing a lot to let people know we care for them and that this is still Jesus’s Birthday. All the things we are handing out will have a tract with them telling them about Christ and a card telling what’s going on at the church, times and events. Pray for these things that the church is doing, that it may touch someone life and help them this holiday season.
The giving tree is up with names of residents from the Waters Nursing Home RS on it. So you can pick one and buy for one of the residents.
The Poinsettia envelopes are on the table in the foyer. Fill it out and place it back in the collection plate in the foyer on the table. Your poinsettia for your loved one will be up front soon.
The church is getting Christmas craft and goody bags for each one of the residents at the Waters of RS. They will be able to hang their craft in their window and enjoy the goodies for the holidays.
In the month of Dec. we will also be treating the staff at the Waters of RS. We will be giving them a Subway sandwiches and chips delivered for all of the staff to let them know they are appreciated.
The Church is wishing the kids a Merry Christmas this year with a Holiday Movie Night package for each family with kids in their own home. We will be giving out: 1 family friendly movie (choices on sign up sheet ) 1 XL Pizza, Popcorn, Cookie dough, and decorating icing! You can pick up your movie packages on Dec. 18th or Sunday the 20th here at church. Please sign up on the sheet in the foyer. This Sunday is the last day to sign up.
We will be giving away holiday meal boxes this Dec. 18th. The boxes will include a meat (turkey or ham) and all the fixins. You can text or call me with the name of someone/a family that could use a little help or a pick me up this holiday season. We will get the boxes together and will deliver them on Dec. 18th. If you would rather pick them up and deliver yourself that’s fine. Please call or text me with name, address, and number of people in the family and place it in the basket in the foyer. Cards or names must be returned by Sunday Dec. 6th. This Sunday is the last day to sign up!
On Sunday Dec. 27, we will be having a Christmas worship service. It will include scripture readings, music, communion and an invitation. If you would like to be apart of the worship service or help to organize it please sign up on the sheet on the bulletin board in the foyer. Please come and join us in celebrating Jesus’s birth.
There will be no food donation this year for the free store, It is monetary donation only. There is a box on the table in the foyer for Christmas donation. All of which are to help with Free Store Food Givings. Thank you
