As we do every year, it’s time once again to order Poinsettias for the Sanctuary. If anyone would like to purchase a poinsettia, please fill out the green form found in the Parish House, the Office or in Sunday's Order of Service and put it in the offering basket with your payment of $20 each. You may also bring it to the office if you wish. All orders must be in by Thursday, December 12th.

SOCIAL JUSTICE TEAM
Giving Tree: We will, again, include a Giving Tree as part of our holiday festivities. If you’d like to take a tag from the Giving Tree, please find a gift that is appropriate for the child (most of the cards have very specific requests) and return the gift, unwrapped, as soon as possible, but no later than December 15th. Please return the tag with the gift. We’ll have a wrapping party that week to festively wrap each child’s gifts.
Questions related to this project may be directed to Cecelia Weeks, chair of the Giving Tree committee, at 508-992-3713.

DOOR ISSUES
If you have attempted to come into the church this week, you may have found that to be difficult. We are experiencing "technical difficulties" with the electronic keypad on the back parking lot door. At the same time, the key lock on it is not working well (it sticks and/or doesn't engage the lock and/or won't release your key!) AND the door itself is troublesome to close properly and is also falling apart. We are aware of all these issues and are working on it.
We know it is a major inconvenience for the many groups that meet here not to be able to gain access and we apologize for the inconvenience. We should have it all set within a week or two.
In the meantime, if you have an outside key, please use either the Thrift Shop Door or the Office Door to enter the building then go up the stairs (through the Thrift Shop) to the Parish House. If you do not have a key and you've tried your code but are locked out, please call the office number (508-994-9686) and leave a message with your name & callback number. Your message will be forwarded and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Lastly, when you leave the building, please be sure to close the Parking Lot Door all the way until it latches. Give it a tug to make sure it's closed securely.
Thank you for your patience in this matter.

HYMNAL DRIVE
We are still trying to reach our goal of 60 new hymnals. We have purchased 30 of them so far. Please keep the donations coming! If you have donated a hymnal and would like a bookplate with a dedication placed inside the cover, please call or email Linda in the office to let her know how you’d like the bookplate to read.
Sincerely, Karen Andersen,
Religious Services Committee Chair

PHOTO DIRECTORY
In an effort to help put names to faces, we will begin taking photos for a new directory this Sunday. After you've had your turkey, we invite you to take moment to stop at our photo booth. We will be taking photos for about three weeks and anticipate the directory in January. Thank you for taking the time to make this possible.
