SUNDAY The Fall Voters’ Meeting will be held Sunday, November 10 starting at 12:30 p.m. A light lunch will be provided. 
Gifts for Children at Youth Haven
Messiah will once again be collecting gifts for the children at Youth Haven Ranch during the month of November. All children who attend Youth Haven during the month of December receive some gifts for the holidays. For many of the children these gifts will be the only ones they receive. The children are all between the ages of 7 and 13, so please keep their ages in mind as you shop. Youth Haven has provided a list of suggested items they can use.
Are You Part of a Team Yet?
Messiah's members are asked to gather in small groups or "prayer teams" to pray for:
You may wish to do this as a family, as three or four friends gathered together, or perhaps with members who live near you. One person can lead the team in prayer, or each team member can take turns praying. No one who is uncomfortable praying aloud has to do so; your silent but heartfelt support will be a blessing to your team. This isn't a huge time commitment (15-20 minutes?), but we ask that you pray regularly and often. You are encouraged to organize a team to meet in your home, at church, or somewhere convenient for your team members. The goal is to have teams praying every day of the week. God promises great things will happen when we talk to Him! "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matt. 18:20)

Children's Christmas Program
December 15th The countdown is on...6 weeks and counting until the children of Messiah bring us the message of Christ's birth! Plans are underway, practices are beginning and very soon lines will be memorized, costumes will be fitted and the excitement will be building each week until December 15th when we reveal the answer to "What Child is This?" Parents and Grandparents: Music practices are scheduled during the Sunday School hour every week, so please plan to attend! We will have the music copied to either jump drives or cd's and ready to send home by November 10th. Please let Kathy Harmon know which version works best for your family. Dress rehearsal is scheduled from 9 am to noon on Saturday, December 14th with a pizza lunch party at noon. 
Messiah Child Development Center’s Christmas Program
MCDC and the ECM action team would like to invite you to the annual MCDC Christmas Program on December 11th at 11am. Please plan to join our MCDC families and their relatives for this event beginning at 11am with a luncheon following. If you plan to attend the luncheon please RSVP to Kelly (mcdckids@messiahlutheranholt.org). We are also looking for volunteers to help out with this event. For the Christmas Program, we are looking for volunteers to greet, mingle and share in the joy that this season brings with the MCDC families and their relatives, and, of course, enjoy the Christmas Program! This is a wonderful way to reach out to these families and show them what our Messiah family is all about, and support these children in their journey to have a relationship with our Lord. To support the Luncheon, we need assistance with setup and cleanup of the luncheon tables and chairs. Please contact Julie Smith or Joan Schneeberger if you are interested in helping! We hope to see you there! MCDC News
Below is an excerpt from the Preschool 2 (4 & 5 year olds) Monthly Newsletter… October was a month full of learning! During carpet time, we focused on the letters F, G, H, and I . We continued working on our scissor, counting, and name writing skills. We have started working our Christmas program. The program will be held on Wednesday, December 11 at 11am. There will be a luncheon afterwards. A note with further details will be sent home with your child. During the month of November, we will focus on the letters J, K, and L. We will be doing review the week of Thanksgiving. We are also very excited to welcome Marki to our room this month! The cold weather is here to stay and snow is on the way! If it is above 30 degrees we will be venturing out. PLEASE make sure to send boots, hats, gloves, and a winter coat/snow pants with your child! Thank you! - Ms. Kathleen |
