Drawn In Again: Creating as Compassionate Resistance
This Sunday, we engaged the importance of listening in our creativity and spirituality. Next Sunday we wrap up our series with "Re-Integration: How Do We Put it Back Together?"
See the order of service here.

We are going to hand-deliver as many sets of Advent candles as we can to those who live locally. Join us at the church on Saturday, November 21, and/or Saturday, November 28, at 10:00 a.m. to pick up some sets to deliver on Saturday or as you are able throughout the week.

Our annual meeting, for the purpose of approving our 2021 budget and slate of officers, will be held Sunday, November 22, following the worship service. A copy of the budget and nomination recommendations will be mailed
soon.

This year we will not be assigning angels. The Salvation Army has stated gifts for children 8-12 years old are their greatest need. So, purchase any item(s) for
either a boy or girl and drop them off at the back parking lot of the church Friday, Dec. 4, or Tuesday, Dec. 8, between 10 am and 12 pm. We will also accept checks made out to the Salvation Army. If you wish to shop on-line and have your items delivered, contact Janet Lisle.

Thursday Morning Chat & Fellowship
Join us on Thursday mornings at 10:00 for virtual chat and fellowship in our "virtual parlor." You can join us by clicking here. If you join us by computer, clicking the link will download the necessary software and take you right into the "sanctuary." If you are joining on your smart phone or pad, you will need to download the Zoom app
from the Apple App Store or Google Play. You can also call 646-558-8656 and enter code 718419400.

As another way of connecting with our congregation and our community, we have started a YouTube channel. Here, you can watch (and share) sermon and teaching videos as well as videos from our life together.
Go to our channel, subscribe to it, and share it with others. When we get to 100
subscribers, it unlocks some additional features we can use.

Needing Help With Zoom?
It has been a challenge for most of us to learn new technologies in such a short period of time. Sometimes it feels like we're in Disney World's Carousel of Progress, but it's spinning way faster than it should. If you're still having difficulty with signing on Zoom, here is a tutorial that might be
helpful.

Facebook
First, go to our page and "Like" us. However, just liking us does not mean that you will see everything we post. Each of our Facebook posts only goes to about 2% of the people who like our page. To make sure you see everything, after you like us, go to the pull-down menu on the "Like" button and click
"Get Notifications." This way everything that we post will show up on your own Facebook wall. If you are on Facebook, you can keep up with what is happening "between Sundays" on our Facebook page.
| Facebook Live
As much as we love gathering together on Sunday mornings, there are times when we are out of town or otherwise unable to be there in person.
You can now watch our worship service live on Facebook right on your computer, tablet, or smart phone. At 10:30 on Sunday just head over to our Facebook page and join us!

Thank you for your consistency and your generosity in your giving during our current unique and challenging circumstances.
Have you explored the opportunity of electronic giving? You can choose to have a set amount taken from your bank account on a regular basis or you can make a one (or more) time gift by checking account or credit card on our website. Your regular electronic giving means that your gift is available for ministry even when you are away (or forgot your checkbook!). Thank you for your continued
support of the ministry of First Congregational Church!
