Hello Church!

Well, as the LORD would have it, will be together for IN-PERSON worship again this Sunday! Thank you Jesus.  As most of you know, we’ve seen a pretty dramatic increase in Covid cases here in the county, but for the most part they’ve stayed away from our church family!
 
We’ll have 1 SERVICE AT 9:30 (Again, because of the rise in cases in the county, we’ll all try to be extra diligent.  Masks, distance and hand sanitizer are all on the agenda for this Sunday. Thank you for helping us out with that!)
 
Please keep an eye on your email.  If there are any changes for the next weekend, we’ll certainly let you know.  Please be praying that the spread of this little virus is held at bay in our community, county, state and nation.
 
STAY CONNECTED
If you’re reading this, you must be getting email, but if anything has changed recently for you, please let us update your contact information so we can stay in touch.  Also, don’t forget to download our app by searching “Lake Almanor Community Church” in your favorite app store. 
 
LORETTA GOMEZ
The last chance to bring cards in for Loretta will be this Sunday. We’ll mail them off early next week.  Thank you! 
 
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
Just another moment to say THANK YOU for helping us fill 174 boxes!  And thank you to Dorothy Stroup for organizing Operation Christmas Child this year.  (Connie Hatcher sent me a note saying how excited she was and that was the most she could ever remember doing!)

CHRISTMAS is COMING!
Our Christmas Series is set to start the week after Thanksgiving.  We’re hoping that even though this Christmas will not be “normal” it will be beautiful and full of comfort and joy as we celebrate the birth of our Savior.  Also, even if it’s seen as just a fit of optimism, we’re going to have a decorating day on December 1 @ 9:00 a.m.  We’d love to have you join us!
 
ADVENT READING
Are you interested in helping us read the advent readings this year?  Any family, couple or individual can do it.  Please contact Pastor Paul at paul@lakechurch.life if you want to help out.
 
TEACHER SEARCH
Lake Almanor Christian School is still seeking to hire an elementary school teacher in a class with 14 students.  If you are interested or know someone who may be, please have them contact the school at 530-596-4100 for an application.
 
THANK YOU!
We were all so blessed that so many of you took the time to say thank you this past weekend.  We consider it a privilege to serve and we couldn’t be here if it weren’t for you.

See you Sunday!
Pastor Paul
