Rebekah Vanloo and her friend Lauren left early this morning for their medical mission trip. Please keep the girls and their entire team in your prayers this week as they are serving and loving the people of Haiti. Pray for their personal health and protection, the strength to endure any challenges, and for each sweet heart to be filled with the love and compassion of Jesus for each other and every person they encounter. To God be the glory!
After breakfast (courtesy of chef Dougan), we will fellowship and spend time in the word discussing our challenges in the world. A $5.00 donation will be taken to help with food costs. If you have any questions, please see Norm Matscheck or call the church office.
Many thanks to all who packed Christmas shoe boxes this year for Operation Christmas Child. Joyce Krull delivered 77 boxes last month from our church to the donation center. Thank you for giving to the Lord! “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:38

Project Linus is an organization that gives children, in need of a hug, a blanket. BCA is working on making teen blankets and would love for you to join them. Tomorrow (11/25), BCA will be having a school assembly where Jodene Cook will share pictures and stories of children who have received blankets. The school’s goal is 20 blankets, and we are asking for your help. BCA will be accepting blankets and materials through December 9th and the Project Linus assembly will be on December 11th. If you would like more information you may call BCA (503-324-4500) or talk to Mrs. Falcon at the church.
