Weekly Announcements from Shady Grove

 Hello Shady Grove Family!

Please read below for this week's announcements: 

-Missions: Our annual Turkey Dinner Fundraiser will be held this Saturday, November 14, from 4:30 to 7pm. Due to COVID, it will drive-through, curbside take-out only. Cost is $10 per plate for adults and $5 per plate for children 6 and under. We hope to see you there!

Crackers for Christmas in Jefferson County: During the month of November, we are taking donations for the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce Christmas Food Baskets for needy persons and family. Because of COVID, we have been asked to only give money to cover the cost of the 400 boxes of crackers we normally give. Our goal is to raise $600 to support this worthy cause. Please consider giving the amount you would spend to buy crackers.

Toys for Tots: Terry Witt has placed a collection box in the Narthex. Please bring new toys through the month of November to help bring joy to children who otherwise might not get any Christmas presents. We are especially in need of toys for children 10 and up.

Holston Home Children’s Home 5th Sunday: November 29 is our last 5th Sunday of 2020. What better way to express our Christian faith than to invest in the lives of children whose lives have been broken and who look to the church to help them become whole again! God bless you church family. Now, more than ever, we are called to be Jesus’s hands and feet during this season of pandemic.

- If you have been asked by Pastor Jason to write a devotional for our Lenten Devotional Book, please be sure to email your devotion to him ASAP. If you have any questions, please contact the office. 

-Beginning this Sunday, King Street will be open as a “cry room” for children who are restless during the service. We hope this will help parents feel more comfortable bringing their little ones back to church.

-Are you grieving the loss of a loved one?  Do you need help in handling the odd and sometimes hurtful comments of others? Are you unsure if the crazy thoughts you're having are normal?  Join us Wednesday mornings at 10 AM in the youth classroom for Griefshare.  You don't need to talk if you don't want to. Just come, watch the video and listen.  It will help; we guarantee it. We will meet you in the evening if necessary.

- Please keep the following people in your prayers: Tim Barker, Frankie Simms, Joyce Keisling, Terry Witt, Malcolm Cotton, the Van Horn Family, the Bowles Family, the Lane Family, the Miller Family, Amy Graves, Christy Bowlin, Hilda Skeens, Jeff Reese, Kyndall DeMaria, Tabitha Coffey, Mark Gapetz, Foland Family, Kevin Fox, Susan Cheetham, Suzanne Guidry, Claire Cortozza, and Bill and Barbara Mosely. 


We love you, church family!
