Informational Meeting: We will be having a brief meeting in the sanctuary following the service on Sunday, November 16 sharing the information from the Name Change Committee. Everyone is welcome to join and learn more.
Edgerton Food Shelf: The Edgerton Food Shelf is seeking donations to support local families. Please bring food, personal care items, or monetary gifts to First Reformed Church (checks payable to Edgerton Food Shelf). Items always needed: peanut butter, jelly, mac & cheese, cereal, pancake mix, syrup, canned vegetables or fruit, body wash, toilet paper, and detergent. They are also collecting Thanksgiving items: boxed stuffing, cranberry sauce, instant potatoes, and frozen pies by November 12. If you have any questions, please contact Art & Sandy Menning, Shar Miedema, Brenda Kooi, Mary Kreun, or Lisa Pfiefle.
Thanksgiving Meal: No plans for Thanksgiving Day lunch? Join us after the Thanksgiving Day Service, Thursday, November 27 at 11:00 a.m. Serving turkey, ham and all the other holiday favorites. Please call or text Jason (507-227-5739) or Shanna Snyder (507-227-3953) and RSVP with the number of guests (so we have enough food) or stop in church and talk to Pastor Mark. This invitation is open to anyone. Please no take-out or delivery.
Operation Christmas Child: Please consider packing a shoe box gift for all the boys and girls who may not get one this year. One box touches the entire family and teaches them about the good news of Jesus Christ. The boxes are by the Welcome desk. Bring them back November 17-23rd. That gives you plenty of time to take the children or grandchildren shopping and let them help you choose gifts. The $10 donation for shipping is being paid by our church again this year. If you have any questions let me know anytime. Iris Talsma
