The Gazette

A Senior Adult Ministry Publication for All Adults

November 2026

Kim's Korner


November reminds us to pause and reflect on the many blessings in our lives. From family and friends to the friendships and fellowship we share at church, we have so much to be thankful for!



As we enter this season of gratitude, let's remember that giving thanks is more than a once-a-year tradition. It's an opportunity to express appreciation, share kindness, and reach out to others.


May we celebrate our blessings and carry grateful hearts throughout November and beyond!
