Lottie Moon Christmas Offering-Our Goal $9,000 envelopes in pew racks, To-Date $1,685 Mission Spotlight—-Japan— IMB missionaries Jarad and Tara Jones have prayed for years that God would open specific doors — doors that many people said were sealed shut. They also prayed for God to soften hearts many consider hard, cold, and closed. Less than 1% of Japan’s population claims to be Christians. “God was already at work,” said Jarad. “God can make doors where doors don’t exist.” God set everything in motion to start a church. Tara said, “People showed up we had tried to share the gospel with but thought nothing had taken root. We wept at what God was preparing.” The hearts they have seen change represent a harvest only God could bring about.
It’s that time of year again! In case of church weather cancellations, a message will be put on the church phone, facebook, the app, and channels 2, 4, 5, and 11.

Save the postage money you would spend on Christmas cards and donate it to Lottie Moon. Place your Christmas cards in the Christmas Tree in
the foyer for Winstanley folks, and they will be picked up by them. Please remember to give cards to people who are normally at Winstanley. This is for pick up only. No cards will be mailed.
Fielding will be teaching from 1 Peter for the January Bible Study, January 7-February 4. Plan on staying after the 10:55 am service for lunch and the study.
Winstanley has been blessed to be able to provide rides to those in Assisted Living through our Van Ministry. We have 3 folks who live at Grand Manor in Swansea and 2 folks who live at Cambridge House in Belleville. They depend on our service to be able to worship with us.
Because of health issues we have lost 2 of our regular drivers and are in desperate need of people who would step-up and fulfill this need. You would only drive ONCE a month... that's only a couple of hours out of your Sunday morn-ing, but it makes ALL the difference for our dedicated members. Thank you for considering, Fielding Poe
