No Wednesday Night Live this week. Wednesday Night Live will resume on Nov. 29. The meal is served at 6 p.m. Please call or email the church office by noon on Tuesday, so we have a meal for you, and let us know if you would like it packaged to-go. The cost is $10 for adults, with reduced prices for children. The menu for Nov. 29 is smothered steak, side, salad, and drink. I've included a link to November's menu below.

Join the Advent Sunday School Group by notifying the church office. The group will meet on the first four Sundays of December. The Sunday school group will use the study guide, Almost Christmas, which explores how we can break down the barriers that prevent us from experiencing love, hope, joy, and peace in Christ in our lives and the world around us.

St. Andrew's Annual Chili Cook-Off
and Hanging of the Greens
This Sunday, after the church service, St. Andrew will celebrate the start of the Advent season with an annual chill cook-off and hanging of the greens. Community United Methodist Church is invited to take part in the festivities also. Please bring your favorite chili and/or cheese, sour cream, Fritos, cornbread, salad, side, or dessert. Voting will take place for the best chili, and then we will decorate for Christmas. Some may wish to stay and help decorate the Fellowship Hall, while others will be needed to hang the Christmas lights in the outdoor chapel. We will enjoy Christmas music while we decorate!
