FOT REMINDERS / HOLY DAY OFFERINGS / STUFFED ANIMALS
FOT BEGINS FRIDAY EVENING, SEPT. 29, 2023 AT SUNSET
As we are all aware, the First Holy Day begins at sunset on Friday, Sept. 29, 2023. Even though we are unable to hold an Opening Night Service, God reminds us to honor His Holy Day by being prepared as this annual Sabbath begins. We will be holding morning and afternoon services on Sabbath, Sept. 30, 2023. HDO will be taken up in the morning.
HOLY DAY OFFERINGS
Holy Day Offerings will be taken up on the morning services of the First Holy Day and the Last Great Day. Please bring your green envelopes for these offerings. The offerings that we give to God on the Holy Days are a vital part of our worship of God. We show our thankfulness for God’s generosity, as well as our spirit of generosity.
Donating online is certainly possible but in our services, please use the special Holy Day offering envelopes which were mailed to you. If you do not have an envelope, you may obtain one from an usher before services. All checks should be payable to the United Church of God. Please be sure your name, complete address, and amount of the offering are on the outside of the envelope.
STUFFED ANIMAL COLLECTION
On Family Day, Thursday, our children's choir will be performing. On that day we plan to distribute any donated stuffed animals to all the children attending the Feast following services. Donations of stuffed animals (preferably a millennial type animal), should be taken to the Information Table by Wednesday after services.
