WOW Schedule
As we get into WOW, we do have some special things going on before Christmas.
• Starting Nov. 11th, our daily schedule will change just a little bit. We’ll have Christmas program practice from 4-5 p.m., and classroom education time will be from 5- 5:45. Teachers, please make a note that you do not need to be here until 5 p.m. to teach, however, we’d love help with supervision of the program practice if you can be to the church before 5 p.m.
• Our volunteer appreciation day will be Wednesday, Dec. 9th. All volunteers for the Wednesday program are welcome to treats and Christmas music in the Fireside Room.

November Youth Nights
Our Nov. Youth nights will be:
•High School: Wednesday, November 18th from 7:30-10 p.m.
•Middle School: Saturday, November 21st from 5-10 p.m.
I hope many of you will be able to join for these fun Youth Nights!

No Sunday School on Nov. 29th
There will be no Middle School or High School Sunday School programs on November 29th. Preschool and Elementary kids will be working on the Christmas program on this day. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Come Sing with Susan
As we get closer to starting rehearsal for this year’s Christmas program, Christmas in a Box, all preschool and Elementary youth are welcome and encouraged to sing with Susan Stinson every Sunday morning. Come join the crazy fun that Susan provides.

Christmas in a Box Rehersals
December is just a month away and the preschool and Elementary age students have started working on the Christmas program. This year’s program is called “Christmas in a Box”, and practices will be held on Sundays and Wednesdays during the education hours. Starting November 15th, the preschool and Elementary kids will spend the edu- cation hour working on “Christmas in a Box”. This schedule will continue from Nov. 15th up until the programs. The program will be presented on Wednesday, Dec. 16 @ 5:45 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 20th at the 10:45 church service.

Stable Service
This year, we will be welcoming Middle and High School Youth to help with the annual Stable Service. The event is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Dec. 20th, and will be entirely youth led. We will discuss what we’d like to do during Sunday school. If possible, I’d like to have 2-3 rehearsals and decorate the 4H grounds before we perform. Community members, families, and visitors will be welcome to apple cider and treats in the Fellowship Hall following the Stable Service.

SENIOR CITIZEN’S BANQUET THANK YOU’S
I’d like to say thank you to all the Senior Citizens who joined the youth for the Banquet on October 18th. We appreci- ate that you joined us for a fun night of food and fellowship.
Thank you to all the High School youth and parents who worked hard for the Banquet. Your dedication to the High School Youth Group is outstanding!

Youth Offering News
The preschool and elementary kids bring their offering to Sunday school each week, and I am proud to announce that with money they have brought as offering to church, they were able to help a lot of people!
$1000 was given to Nathalie Fida Lassang, a Cameroonian student attending Concordia College in Moorhead, MN.
$1000 was given to the Train Up a Child program that provides children in Africa with an education for an entire school year.
And finally, $1000 was given to the fund for the Kids Against Hunger food packing plant that will be coming to Milbank!
May God bless the people who this money will help, and may God bless the children who made it possible!
