Thornwell Emphasis Month – Lighting the Way to Jesus
Thornwell Emphasis Month represents a long-standing tradition of faithful friends who generously advocate for Thornwell and bring awareness to the needs that exist within our communities.
YPPC has been a “faithful friend” of Thornwell for many years. During this month, we will share a video Minute for Mission each Sunday during Fellowship.
Please to take a minute to watch this week’s video (button below) which focuses on “Family Takes All of Us”.
We will collect a special offering for Thornwell on November 20th.

A NEW YEAR IS COMING!
Our current Christian year will conclude with Christ Our King Sunday on November 20, 2022, and a new Christian year will begin with the first Sunday of Advent on November 27, 2022.
During worship on Sunday, November 20, we will share the Lord’s Supper as we celebrate our Servant King. After worship, we will prepare to welcome the New Christian Year during fellowship as we decorate the sanctuary for Advent. Everyone is invited to enjoy a pizza lunch and help deck the halls together.

STEWARDSHIP UPDATE
As of last Sunday, 43 YPPC households have turned in pledge cards so that we can “step out in faith in 2023.” Thus far, we have $208,880.00 pledged for the General Offering and $22,320.00 pledged for the Building Fund. In addition, members turned in their “Time and Talents” pledged cards, and those names will be passed along to our committee moderators.
Thank you to everyone who has pledged time, talent, and treasures so far. If you have not yet turned in your pledge cards, please do so as soon as possible so that the session can make plans for next year’s budget. If you need a pledge packet, please contact the church office.
