ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR OCTOBER 29, 2023

If you would like to be included in our “Outreach” group text messages, please provide your phone number to Carol Reisner so that you can be made aware of Outreach meetings and/or happenings. We are hoping to increase our footprint in the community. The next meeting is Tuesday, the 31st, at 2:00 pm.

The church had to get a new checking account due to our name change, so please remember to make any checks out to “Bascom Community Church” so that they can be cashed. Thank you!

The next date for “Mommy and Me” is Friday, November 10th from 2:00-3:30 pm. Please sign up on the sheet on the office door if you plan on assisting with the session. The next scheduled dates is December 8th.

Our disaffiliation from the United Methodist Church denomination will become effective Tuesday, October 31st. If you desire to remain a member of the United Methodist Church denomination instead of having your membership transfer to our new independent church known as Bascom Community Church, please let Pastor Dean know. Please remember that you can still attend our church if you wish to keep your UMC membership.

We have a new email address. It is bascomcommunitychurch@gmail.com.

We will be having a potluck next Sunday after the worship service for our first Sunday as Bascom Community Church. Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour on Saturday night before you go to bed!

We will also be celebrating All Saints Day on November 5th. Please get any names that you wish to be included to Pastor Dean after today’s service.

Tom & Jane Rex’s great-grandsons Sholey McGown (3 years old) and Simon McGown (7 months old) will be baptized on Sunday, September 12th. Mom is Breese McGown.

Please make sure to mark any “event” on the calendar posted on the door to the church office. We are trying to make sure there is one location where all can go to see any event involving the church. Thank you!

Please finish filling your Operation Christmas Child shoebox and return it to the church by next Sunday. The United Methodist Women will cover the $10 per box shipping fee if needed.

Please spread the word. Bascom Community Church will be offering free childcare for those doing some early Christmas shopping on Saturday, December 2nd. Also, if you are available to volunteer, we will need helpers! A flyer will be coming soon!

As Christmas Eve is on a Sunday this year, we will be having one service on Sunday, December 24th at 10:30 a.m. This service will follow our Christmas Eve service format.
