Please feel free to share the following link with local friends and family or at your Thanksgiving gathering! This is a great way for our group to generate funds for our summer trips to J Creek and MFuge this summer! We get a percentage of every gift card ordered, requires little work on our part, and it is perfect for those wishing to skip shopping or use the cards to purchase Christmas gifts. They should arrive by Sunday, December 6! Please make sure that all of the orders are turned in by Sunday, November 29 or the order will not get placed!!! We will even do deliveries to the individual if they are local.https://edenchurch.breezechms.com/form/002ebf

SCHEDULED EVENTS UPDATE
OCC Packing Party has been CANCELLED. Due to unforeseen circumstances and with new restrictions in place, we have decided to cancel the packing party at the Folmer's home scheduled for this Friday and Saturday.
NO Youth Group- Please remember that next week, November 25, there will be no youth group because of Thanksgiving.
THE FUTURE OF WEEKLY EVENTS is unclear at this point because of the restrictions that are being put into place by the state of IL/Madison County due to COVID. We will be making decisions on a week-to-week basis concerning confirmation class, Wednesday night youth group, high school girl's bible study, and any events we are tentatively scheduling for the month of December. We appreciate your patience as we all try and navigate these times together.
THANKFUL FOR YOU! I am so incredibly grateful to be able serve and get to know your families. One of the things I missed the most when COVID hit was seeing each of you in person. I treasure the moments of joy that come when I get to see you face-to-face. I pray that as you navigate this time, you are taking time to breathe and reflect on the many ways God has been constant and provided blessings to you and your family. I know that my family and the youth volunteers are so grateful to serve each of you! May you truly feel God's richest blessings showered upon you during this time.
