Photo Op
If you would like to take this opportunity for some Christmas pictures, now is the time! The platform has beautiful trees and along the back wall of the sanctuary is a Christmas backdrop. Feel free to snap some pictures if you’d like!
Christmas Boxes Are Up!
If you would like to share Christmas cards with our Dover Assembly family, our Homebound and our Youth, there is a list of church family names and numbers in the upper foyer for you to take to help with your Christmas card giving! There is a numbered sheet listing all the members of our church. Please note that the numbers have changed slightly from last year. If you did not receive a box and would like to, please see Pastor Jeff. If we missed you or if we have an incorrect spelling of your name, our apologies. Please let Pastor or Anna know. There are the new offering envelopes in your mailbox slot. Be sure NOT to use this year’s envelopes for next year’s giving. The envelope numbers are not the same year to year.
Box for Brock
As many of you know, Diane’s son, Brock, has been deployed to Syria. We would like to bless him with some items he could use. There is a box in the upper foyer where you can put any items you would like to bless him with. Some items greatly needed are: soups with meats and/or veggies that do not need water added (think pop tops); canned fruit; canned vegetables; canned meats such as Swanson canned chicken; canned tuna in water. (will need a can opener sent along). Sweet treats for him and that he can share with the men. [NO CHOCOLATE] Generic Zyrtec; toothpaste; Pepto-Bismol chewables; intensive care-type lotions; bath towels; bathroom wipes, etc. Anything you might think of and are not sure we can send, please see Diane. She will be able to let you know what can and cannot be sent. Once our Box for Brock is full, we as a church will ship it to him. Thinking of you cards would be nice.
Texting
We are continuing to expand the way we share information through texting. If you would like to receive periodic updates, weather cancellations, church information, encouraging quotes, etc. please fill out a blue card in the pew rack with your name and cell number with the word TEXT. Place it in the offering plate, or hand it to an usher and we will add you to our ever-growing list.
Show Us Your Christmas Tree!
We are asking that everyone take a pic of their tree and post it on trees@doverassembly.com.
