*PARKING - The volleyball tournament falls on the same day that the Angel Food Ministry has their food pick up. Angel Food uses the front parking area in the front of the school. People will be going in the door with the ramp. We would like to leave that area empty for Angel Food Parking – some of the people are elderly, and need to be able to park close to the door. If the rest of the lot is full, you might want to consider using the church lot – maybe even think about parking there and leave the school lot for others.
THANK YOU - Thank you to Dore’s Exxon Mobile for the grant of $500.00, which is to be used for the school
Technology program. This is something that they have been doing for a long time. It is greatly appreciated.

SPECIAL CHAPEL OFFERING - Offering from the last three chapels was $117.95. Operation Christmas Child: The chapel offerings will help offset the cost of shipping and handling. Thank you for your participation in this worthwhile project. I will report next week how many boxes we were able to fill.

MISSION STATEMENT - Please take time again to read the mission statements of the church and school that are written above. Our school theme for this year, “To Know and Proclaim Christ”, simply echoes what our mission statements say.

SAGINAW SPIRIT HOCKEY - Our school has been given 6 tickets for every home game of the Saginaw Spirit Hockey Team. If you would like to attend a home game and use all 6 tickets please let me know. All 6 tickets are in Section U-10, Row N and Seats 9 – 14. The season home game package has been provided to us by Marshall E. Campbell Co. Some families have responded to this opportunity – don’t miss out.

5-8 GRADE CHOIR SINGS - SUNDAY, NOV. 23 The Youth Choir will sing to help celebrate Mr. Jerry Eisman's 40th anniversary at the 10:30 service on the 23rd. If your student cannot be at this event, please give a note excusing them to Mr. Schultz ahead of time, so that he will know who to expect. This was not originally planned and so it is not on the calendar, but this special celebration deserves our attention. Thanks!
