meals to be delivered and stay to deliver them. We usually finish by noon if not earlier. Please call Dolly Mont-gomery ASAP at 345-1957 or 917-6089 to volunteer to help make Thanksgiving special for others.

ALL IN THE FAMILY
BIG thank you to so many of you for contributing to a delightful reception to send Vicky and Dan
off with a delicious hug! There were so many who contributed their time and talents and my heart is full of gratitude to each of you. You perform marvelously when needed!
The Moveable Feast ladies will dine at J. Peters on December 6. Please do let me know if you can make it. Hopefully, this time we will get there early enough to get us all at one table.
What a sweet treat you all make it to be a part of God’s family that comes together at Chapin Pres! I hope you have a lovely week.
Also, a ring has been found at the church. If you are missing your ring, please contact the church office at

TREASURE SEEKERZ memory verse: “I am the God of Abraham, your father.
Fear not, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your offspring for
my servant Abraham’s sake.” —Genesis 26:24
Preschool version: “I am the God of Abraham, your father. Fear not, for I
am with you.”
We continue our study of Abraham’s family as we read about Jacob returning home this week and
God giving him a new name, in Genesis 32-33. Next Sunday we will begin our journey through the life
of Joseph from Genesis 37-41. I hope you will come at 9:15 AM, and bring a friend!
The hanging of the greens is this Sunday from 3:00-5:00 PM, and we will put up
ornaments made by the children on the tree in the family center. I hope your family can
come help us decorate!
Our TREASURE SEEKERZ party is planned for this Wednesday, November 18, 6:30 PM at
Chapin Christian Gymnastics. FREE for HISKIDZ who know their verses and only $5.00 for anyone
who doesn’t. This is a fun family night as we celebrate memorizing our verses and everyone is invited!
We will have cupcakes, drinks, and fun times jumping together!
I love you! See you Sunday! —Mrs. Jackie
