Angel Tree
Thanks for helping make a kid’s Christmas grand by taking an “angel/wish list” Just a few reminders about sponsoring a child that you need to know.
--Please sign you name next to the number of the angel you took off the tree at the sign-in sheet. --Please don’t wrap the gifts you purchase for your “angel” --Please bundle all the kid’s gifts together in a bag. --Label the bundle with a copy of the “angel wish list”. --Please return the gifts to Resurrection Lutheran Church by December 9. The RLC Angel tree is located in the Fellowhip Hall If you have any questions please contact Lori B. 
Our Angel Tree still has angels available. If it's more than your budget, consider going in with another family.

Fall Festival & Fair a Success
RLC had its Fall Festival Fair on Sat, Nov 12. There were 37 vendors and the event was well attended.
Event Chair Teresa Carter reported that $1,065 was raised at the one-day event. This includes $105 for youth and scholarships. An additional $322 was raised which was used to cover food costs. "We had about 199 people attend and that includes 37 vendors and 14 workers," she said. There is a long list of people who helped make the event a success: Addison B (Teresa's granddaughter) and her friend Jocelyn, Carey W, Jennie C, Nicole B, Byrona, Joe, Aaron Carter, Stephen, Jan, Kim R, Heather S, Jenifer and Lori B. Plus there were others who helped moved stuff including Phil, Pastor Mark, Aaron, Lori B, Joe and Stephen. And Teresa would also like to thank Justin, Jason and Aaron for putting out signs. What an amazing effort and a great way to reach out to our community. 
If we all help, we can meet our budget, support the church and open up new ways for God to bless our lives.

New RLC Council Members Elected at Annual MeetingTwo new Council Members were elected at the meeting: Marvin Meyer and Becky Watkins. The church is still seeking two members to serve on the Synod Assembly. Bishop Mike is stepping down and a new Bishop will be elected so we want to be represented.
Two will be leaving the Council and were thanked for their service: Jason Horton (one year) and Lori Philo-Cook (four years). Jason will be focusing his energy on special projects, and Lori will continue to do the website. Several Council Members will serve the second year of their two-year term in 2023: Marcie Everett-Branstetter, Phil Maune, Teresa Carter, Joe Koptik, Stephen Tharp and Nicole Baker. Church staff also serve on the Council as non-voting members. The Spending Plan was approved by the congregation. Stephen Tharp reported that to date $10,300 has been raised to help offset costs for the building refresh. There have been some delays due to finding a lot of unexpected damage, especially where the roof and that facia meet. 
Advent Begins Nov 27!Advent is the season of the church year that leads up to Christmas. The theme for Advent this year will be getting rid of the barriers that get in the way of God getting access tour lives to bring forgiveness, love, grace and purpose.
Advent Wednesdays We will meet at 7:15PM on Nov 30 and Dec 7, 14 & 21 for a time of worship. We will focus on things that get in the way of more fully experiencing God’s presence and purpose in our lives.
