Peter Fish: During the Children’s Message today, we will be handing out Peter Fish collection banks to all children in preschool through 5th grade. We encourage families to fill their Peter Fish with spare change and bring them back on Thanksgiving morning, November 26! The children will bring their fish forward during the Children’s Message. All funds collected will go toward supporting Dana Frost and her missionary aviation work with Proclaim Aviation Ministries. Thank you for helping our children make a difference!
