November is Thanksgiving Month

November 4, during the coffee hour, the council will sponsor table discussions of aspects of our congregation’s life and ministry. These appreciative assessments are an opportunity for you to think about what you want to affirm and celebrate about Peace, and to plant seeds of new ministries and programs.

November 18 the council will report on the November 4 table discussions in fellowship hall meeting. Thanksgiving potluck on this day, November 18. Bring a dish to share. Pledge cards will be received on November 18. Begin thinking of your commitment to your church in your new year, and please plan to make a year-end gift of thanks to the general fund or to the Peace Forever capital fund.

During the month of November bring in Thanksgiving foods for A Place to Turn in Natick.
