4. As we near the end of the financial year, we’re excited to announce our $25,000 Double Your Dollar Campaign! Thanks to the incredible generosity of two individuals in our church, every dollar you give during December will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000 to our Renovation Fund. We hope to reach $50,000—or more—by December 31! We kindly ask that your Double Your Dollar gift be in addition to your regular generous giving by using the Renovation Fund Envelope or a Second Mile Offering Envelope and indicate Renovation Fund. Let’s finish this year with a spirit of generosity and gratitude! You can give online at https://leidyschurch.churchcenter.com/giving, by mail, or in person.
5. Spring Kids Musical kick-off - Kindergarteners through teens are invited to our musical kickoff party Saturday, December 14th at 10am. We will play games, have snacks, and watch "The Bumble BEEattitudes" performance. We are looking for older kids to be skateboarders and a group of teenage girls. Please invite your friends, grandchildren, and neighbors to join us!
6. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported the Ladies of Leidy's Christmas Craft Show yesterday, it was a big success! Also, thanks to everyone who put a yard sign up for us! Please return them to the church office (if they didn’t blow away) so we can re-use them again next year!
7. Rice history! 23 tons of rice in the 40 foot container was off-loaded at Ashdod on Nov. l1th. On Nov. 22nd it cleared Israeli customs. On Monday, Nov. 25th, tomorrow, is will be sent to a warehouse and be palletized. God willing, with an IDF escort, it will be transported to the churches in Gaza on Thursday, Nov. 28th, Thanksgiving Day for us. Let’s pray that this schedule comes to pass and the food reaches the desperate folk sheltering for over a year in Holy Family parish and St. Porphyrius congregation.
8. We are preparing to make our sanctuary look festive and welcoming during the Advent season. Please consider purchasing a poinsettia to help with these efforts. You will find order slips at the Welcome Desk. Simply fill out the slip, place it in a pew envelope with cash or check, and drop it in one of the collection pillars.
