Prayers
Please keep the Armstrong family in your prayers as they mourn the loss of Jack and please pray for all of our congregation members and friends who will be facing the holidays without a special loved one this year. Please pray for the many in our congregations who are aging and not feeling well.

Service of Thanksgiving
The Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service for both communities will be held at First Pres. Delaware City on Wednesday, Nov. 25 at 7 p.m. Father Roy Pollard will bring the message and we will have special music from each congregation in Port Penn and Delaware City. The Delaware City Deacons will be serving dessert following the service.

Hanging of the Greens
Both churches will celebrate the first Sunday of Advent with the Hanging of the Greens. These informal services are especially geared for children and families. Join us in Port Penn at 9:45 a.m. and in Delaware City at 11:15 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 29.

Dec. 6: Families: Save the Date:
A special Family Advent make it and take it craft hour will be held on Sunday, Dec. 6 immediately following the 11:15 a.m. service. This event is for children and parents/gandparents and friends who want to make some Advent decorations for the home. We will order pizza, make some crafts and talk about the real reason for the season! The event will be held in Delaware City but is designed for families from both congregations.

Dec. 11: Ladies: Save the Date:
A Christmas Gathering for the ladies of both churches will be held on Friday evening Dec. 11. This special event is being brought to you by Beth's friends from the Elkton Presbyterian Church. You don't need to bake, you don't need to plan the program, you don't even need to get to church early to turn on the heat--it will all be done for you! All you have to do is wear your prettiest Christmas sweater and show up to eat goodies and relax with your friends from both churches as we celebrate the season. Watch for details about time and location!
