FOOD FOR FRIENDS TURKEY BIN
This holiday season we are collecting non-perishable food items for needy families in our community. Consider filling a grocery bag (or 2) & drop it off in the Turkey Bin located in the church foyer. Thank you.
GOBBLE WOBBLE 5K RUN & WALK
Help WCAG raise money for Teen Challenge by participating in the 5k on Thanksgiving day. Race begins early at 8:30am. Register yourself or a team today at wcag.org/gobblewobble.
ENGAGE "FIRST FRUITS" OFFERING
As you know, one area of focus for our ENGAGE Initiative is financial generosity. We’ve asked everyone to prayerfully stretch in their financial generosity towards the church so that the church can be generous with missionaries, run excellent ministries, keep our building functional and updated, and pay off debt. For many people this will be growth in monthly or weekly giving. But some of you have the ability to give one-time gifts of stored resources towards these goals. For those of you that are able to do that, we will be taking a “First Fruits” Offering on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, November 27. Please practically and prayerfully prepare for this offering. As God has been generous with us, we want to be generous with others. wcag.org/give
COLLEGE CARE PACKAGES
We will mail College Care Packages to approximately 30 WCAG students on November 28. Help is needed to bake or purchase goodies for students. Bring your labeled contribution in the kitchen by 9AM on Nov. 28. For more info, contact Judy Drewes at (314)606-9337.
GIVING TUESDAY - November 29
Black Friday. Cyber Monday. And now, our society is embracing Giving Tuesday, which kicks off the charitable season when many focus on their end of the year giving.
