As the Church year nears its closing, the chosen readings reflect judgement and the end of all things, an event referred to in the Hebrew Scriptures as “the Day of the Lord.”  It can be a scary prospect; it can also be a strangely comforting one.  The constant theme is the value of faith through it all and the presence of God to defend and provide for endurance.
  
Welcome!

Everyone is invited to stay for fellowship after the service.

We pray today for all the sick in our congregation, especially Colin and Elfriede Hayes, Else Kalmbach and her son, Nancy Mayberry, George Simonis and John Weninger.  May God grant all of them His healing grace in Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Offering Envelopes - Everyone has unnumbered envelopes, so please remember to put your name, date and donation amount on the front of each envelope so you get credit for your donations.  If you need more envelopes, there are some in the Fellowship Hall. 

PAR – Pre-Authorized Remittance – Your church needs you!  Signing up for PAR allows you to make donations on a monthly basis even if you’re not in church.  Application forms are available on the table in the Fellowship Hall.  All you have to do is complete the form, attach a VOID cheque and put it in the offering plate or in the church office.

Communion Cards are required to be completed once per year per person.  If you have not completed one yet this year, please ask the usher for one.

Bible Study – November 30 – December 21
St. John's and Trinity will hold another Adult Study for four weeks beginning on November 30th and ending December 21st.  The topic will be "The Symbols of Advent" and will be a way to prepare for the celebration of Jesus' birth in the celebration of Christmas.  We'll look at the Church's symbols and practices particular to the season of Advent, such as colours, the Advent Wreath, the Christmas Tree, and the Nativity scene, among others.  As before, the study will begin at 12 noon each day at Trinity Anglican Church and the participants are invited to bring a lunch.
  
Hats & Mitts & Socks For Kids
Some children go to school without hats, mittens and socks.  Let’s help keep the children warm this winter!  Donations of children’s hats, mittens/gloves, socks (store bought or hand-made) will be accepted during Advent.  There will be a Christmas tree in the Fellowship Hall to decorate with donated hats, mitts and socks.

Aylmer Optimist Toy Drive
Every year, the Aylmer Optimists collect new toys for children, up to age 15, for Christmas.  Let’s help make Christmas special for some area boys and girls.  Unwrapped, new toys can be left under the Christmas tree in the Fellowship Hall during Advent.
  
LCW Christmas Party – Tuesday, December 6 @ 2:00 p.m.
All ladies are asked to bring a story / poem, etc. to share with everyone at the party and a plate of baked goods, cheese & crackers, vegetables, etc.  There will be a penny table which always has lots of wonderful gifts to be won.  Donation items for the penny table are needed.  Ladies are asked to bring a $10 gift for a gift exchange.
