Holiday Stockings for Heroes
          On Sunday, November 28 after church, we will need people to help stuff the “Holiday Stockings for Heroes.”  These are gifts which we have collected for soldiers and veterans who are hospitalized at Christmas.  We will stuff the Christmas stockings and “cap” them with knit hats.  If you have any questions about this project, please speak to Jeanette Schneider. 

ADOPT-A-FAMILY
          The Ladies of Good Shepherd are partnering with the Novi Youth Assistance Program in their Adopt-A-Family program. This effort is one of our long-term church goals to reach out to the community. The family assigned has two children—a 4-year-old boy with Cerebral Palsy and a 6-year-old girl.
          The deadline for donations is December 1. You may help out the family by taking a paper ornament from the tree posted at the entry of the church building. Write your name on the paper beneath the ornament when you take it. Donated items do not need to be wrapped. Gifts of money are also welcome, especially toward the adaptive bike for the young boy.
          If you have any questions, please contact Linda Larson.

EVANGELISM COMMITTEE MEETING
          Our next Evangelism Committee meeting will be Sunday, November 28 at 11:15 AM. 

STEWARDSHIP COMMITTEE MEETING
          Our next Stewardship Committee meeting will be Sunday, November 28 at 11:15 AM.  

PRIVATE CONFESSION & ABSOLUTION
          While Private Confession & Absolution can be scheduled at any time, we will set aside a time when you can come in without an appointment on Monday, November 29 from 6:30-8:30 PM. For an explanation of the purpose and rationale of Private Confession & Absolution, see this.

OFFICE HOURS
          Office hours are Monday-Thursday, 9:00 AM – Noon.
          The pastor will be in his office unless a meeting has been scheduled elsewhere (consult the weekly schedule). The pastor is also available by appointment. Call or text (248-719-5218). You may also email (welsnovi@aol.com), but the response may be slower.
