Gingerbread House Decorating!
Sunday December 7th right after church at 11:30am. No Sunday School. Please sign your family up for a house (1 house per family/household) no later than Sunday November 30th. These houses are made to order based on those who have signed up, so if you have not signed up by November 30th then unfortunately you will not have a house to decorate, BUT you can still join for a pizza lunch and fellowship.
Pizza will be provided by the church with the help of the Social Committee and will be around 12:30.
Please bring candy to share for the "community candy" table and then any specialty candies you might want for your own! Please contact Jessica Bartlett 413-626-3497 or use the sign-up sheet in the back of the church to "order" a house. This is a free church sponsored event, but candy donations are helpful.

For the four couples from NLBC who are attending the Joni and Friends Marriage Getaway this weekend.
Pray for the ministries of our church and those who are involved in them: the Prayer Chain, the Praise Team, the Food Pantry, KTFL (Keep the Fire Lit (the young adult Bible Study), our Sunday School classes, the children's choir, the Men's Discipleship Group, the Women's Discipleship Group, our Children's Ministries, the ministry to the deaf, the Special Needs Care team and our Youth Group.

Our church of the week is Community Bible Church in Northfield and their pastor Ben Emberley. Ben is also involved with the Small Town Summit organization which helps pastors throughout New England.
Our ministry focus this week is our Youth Ministry. The goal of the Youth Ministry continues to be the creation of a Christ-centered environment where teens can grow in their faith, deepen their knowledge of God, and strengthen relationships with one another--allowing "iron to sharpen iron". We are so blessed to have an amazing group of teens in our church. Youth Ministry leaders are Dan and Marina Leonovich, Mary Burek, and John and Joann Drumgool.
Our Global Partner of the week is the Rivers of Mercy Children's Home. The most recent list of prayer requests are: Provision to meet their financial needs. The amount they receive in donations every month does not meet their expenses. Emmis and Kristin would like prayer for wisdom and direction as they lead the ministry. Pray for unity, love, patience, and humility for the staff as they deal with difficult situations. Emmis and Kristin's son Joel is doing a discipleship training with YWAM for 5 months. Pray for spiritual growth in the teenagers at ROM.
