HAPPY THANKSGIVING
I hope that each one of you have a great Thanksgiving Day with family and friends.
LOTTIE MOON CHRISTMAS OFFERING
During the month of December
During this time of the year, we focus our attention on our International Missionaries. Each Sunday in the month of December, we will have a video focusing on some of our missionaries. We will also collect a love offering for our International Missionaries. Prayerfully consider how much God will have to give.
SUNDAY WORSHIP
Nov 30 @ 10a
This Sunday begins the Advent season as we look at the Gift of Christmas. The birth of Jesus set in motion the greatest gift ever given – the opportunity for eternal life in heaven. Because of Jesus’ birth, hope entered the world. Not a hope that is that just wants something to happen, but a hope of certainty. The Hope of Christmas is rooted in the past, experienced in the present, and prepares our hearts for the future.
BETHLEHEM MARKETPLACE
Dec 6-7, 12-5p
BMP PROMOTION
Here are some ways that you can help promote BMP
BMP CONSTRUCTION
Good leather gloves and closed toed shoes are recommended. We need wheelbarrows, shovels and rakes for Saturday.
BMP INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS
Nov 30, 1:30p OR Dec 3, 6:30p
We need everyone that will be participating in BMP to attend one or these two meetings (they will be the exact same information). Even if you’ve been to all 40 presentations, please plan to attend one of these meetings. We will remind you of some things you’ve probably forgotten and may have new information for you. Both meetings will be held in the sanctuary and last about an hour.
BMP FLYER DISTRIBUTION
Nov 30, 1:30p
We’ve got 200 flyers to take to the community around the church. If you can help, please meet Gary Young in the foyer at 1:30p.
LIGHTING OF THE CHRISTMAS TREE ON THE SQUARE
Dec 5, 6-8p
This event is conducted by the City of Murfreesboro with lots of activities, vendors and food trucks. We have been invited to provide a Nativity Scene to remind people the true purpose of celebrating Christmas. While we are there, we will hand out business cards inviting people to Bethlehem Marketplace.
NO BIBLE FELLOWSHIP - WORSHIP WILL BEGIN AT 9:30A
Dec 7
BMP DECONSTRUCTION
Dec 7, 5p
We need your help in packing up BMP. If we have a good group (like we have in construction), we will be finished around 9p. Please bring wheelbarrows, shovels and shop brooms. Work gloves and close-toed shoes are recommended.
