This Coming Week (and beyond)




Beginning this Saturday, November 19, the Galilee Seventh-Day Adventist Church, under the leadership of Pastor Luckson Jean-Francois, will be using our facilities every Saturday from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. They will be renting the Sanctuary, Fellowship Hall and Kitchen. This is a small congregation of about twenty members. If there is a need for these facilities by members of our church during these hours, please contact Nancy Sullivan as early as possible so we can make the necessary arrangements.

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat..."
Matthew 25:35
We're asking you to please give generously to our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive, now through the end of November which benefits the Stoughton Food Pantry.
All sorts of non-perishable items are urgently needed. Let's ensure that all of our neighbors are able to share in this special holiday which reminds us to thank God for the blessings of our friends and family and for the bounty of our fields, farms, and oceans. Thank you.
From the Mission and Outreach Committee
