November Church Family Budget Update

October closed with Church Family Contributions totaling $40,073 toward our monthly budget of $63,738. While we’re still behind year-to-date, we’re deeply thankful for each gift and for the faithfulness our members continue to show.

As we enter these final two months of the year—seasons centered on thanksgiving and gratitude—we’re reminded of how richly God has blessed our church family. Every act of generosity, every prayer, and every moment of service reflects His goodness working through us.

Let’s continue that spirit together, giving joyfully and faithfully so we can finish the year strong and keep our ministries thriving.

Thank you for all you do to support the mission we share.

Family Gratitude Feast and Vespers is set for Friday night Nov. 14 from 6-8pm in the Fellowship Hall. Church families of all ages: please bring your very best Thanksgiving dish or your  traditional favorite holiday food, and help us create an unforgettable eating extravaganza!

Volunteers Needed for Thanksgiving Turkey and Food Distribution!

The Carmichael Community Services Food Bank made an incredible impact on November 5, serving 404 families and 1819 individuals. Thank you for helping us make a real difference.

Emergency Food Grant Due to the food benefit shortfalls in California our food bank, which is considered a large food bank, received an emergency food grant of $25,000 from the Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services this week. This money will be used to help us continue to provide fresh produce and dairy to families in need. It couldn’t come at a better time as this week we had over 400 families come and use the food bank! We know that this is a difficult time for many people. If you are a church member and need food assistance please talk to a pastor and we can arrange a time for you to get food from our food bank.

Operation Christmas Child shoebox project has begun! How could your family bless a child in need this Christmas? Together with your kids, spouse or loved ones, fill a shoebox full of quality toys, school supplies, or personal items for a boy or girl, ages 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14. See samaritanspurse.org for specific ideas and instructions. CCK will collect these shoeboxes on Sabbath Nov 22, so start packing yours today! Contact Pastor Melissa with questions. 

Night in Bethlehem is happening TWICE this year on Dec 6 & 7, and for the first time we are opening it up to the surrounding community families and churches, so it might be BIG! It truly takes a village to run this program, but this year we’ll need more helpers than ever. Our Bethlehem city needs actors, craft booth helpers, musicians, kitchen crews, greeters, crowd control, set designers, people to sew costumes, and so much more. Text Pastor Melissa RIGHT NOW with how you can help bring the story of Christmas to life! 253-261-5043

The Adventures In Ministry Sabbath School class is on a two week break, but will resume on Sabbath November 22, with its focus on a new book titled, "Rembrandt Is in the Wind: Learning to Love Art through the Eyes of Faith," by Russ Ramsey. The questions we'll be exploring are, "How do art and faith intersect? How does art help us see our own lives more clearly? What can we understand about God and humanity by looking at art and the lives of artists?” The book is on Amazon for $10.
