Win at 10 – TODAY - if you are a Small Group Leader, please attend this meeting to discuss the Service Projects your class will be participating in. As usual, we will meet in C-2 Class room. Legacy Countdown – Have you noticed the new & improved display on the Nursery greeting counter? The jars of marbles? You can down load this app, it will show you how much time you have left with your child based on age and number of weeks left with them to be an influence in their lives. A visual aid of just how fast time flies! Youth Nights in December –Each Sunday night throughout this month, we will create unique Christmas-themed

environments and experiences: 12/7-TONIGHT is “Christmas Morning”: wear your comfy, but modest, clothes, as we enjoy a big breakfast for

our dinner before a message about the greatest gift God has given. 12/14 – Next week is “White Christmas”: wear all white for a Christmas “rave” after a delicious, traditional

Christmas feast, which will lead beautifully into the message on being generous because God has been generous to us. 12/21 – Christmas Youth Night: games, gifts, food, bake-off, singing, celebrating God’s great gift! (more details

coming soon)

Christmas Gift Bags for Jail Ministry

Each year we prepare 250 gift bags for the Forsyth County Jail inmates and staff. Included

in the bags is a Christmas card from Grace Chapel, a pair of white socks, and 3 homemade

cookies. We will bag up all the items on the 21st after worship. We need 72 dozen HARD

cookies...no fudge or soft cookies are allowed. We will have a cookie sign-up sheet in the

foyer starting Sunday December 7th and all cookies need to be delivered to the church

building by Sunday the 21st. Each year we have a tremendous response and hope to see the

same this year! Let the kids help! Any leftover cookies will be donated to Meals by Grace.

Thank you Russ Schoper & The Jail Ministry Team!

Please help us keep the building clean and

tidy by removing your coffee cups and

other trash following worship and class.

There are trash cans conveniently located

throughout the building, including the

lobby.

Thank you for your help.

Search Update:

We will resume the survey updates next week but this week I wanted to update the church on where

we are in the process. The committee has collected and vetted 17 recommenders. A recommender is a

very well-known leader at a church of Christ and/or university that understands and appreciates

pulpit ministry and leadership. They are theologically compatible with our congregation and the

direction we are moving for the future. Search committee members have reached out during the

holidays and contacted the recommenders. They were sent the job description as well as a GCCC

brochure that describes Grace Chapel Church of Christ. The committee will meet on December 13th and

will start reviewing the candidates submitted. Our goal will be to narrow it down to the top 2 to 3

candidates shortly after that meeting.

We will keep everyone posted.

Thanks Tim Aligheri, Search Committee Chair
