This Sunday Calvin celebrates communion. As we prepare to celebrate communion, we ask God for the
proper spirit in which to celebrate the sacrament.
As is tradition, on communion Sundays we urge our members to contribute to the Christian Needs
Ministry. The November Needs include canned vegetables; canned fruit; hamburger/tuna helper;
peanut butter; rice; pasta sauce; toilet paper; shampoo; cleaning products. Place items in the blue
barrel in narthex.
