 Profession of Faith:  Ready to Take the Next Step in Your Faith Journey?Calling all students who feel called to make their Profession of Faith! Join us for a special series of classes designed to deepen your understanding and commitment to Christ. Classes start today after worship and will continue on November 10, 17, 24, and December 8, with our final class on December 15 at the parsonage—where we'll watch the thought-provoking movie Spirit and Truth.  This is your chance to explore what it means to stand boldly in your faith and proclaim your trust in Jesus before the church. Don’t miss this opportunity to grow and prepare for this significant milestone in your walk with the Lord.

Help Wanted:  The RCW Soup Committee is looking for 3-4 more ladies to be on our committee.  This is a big project and more assistance is needed, as our current members will stay on but are “maturing”.  Please consider this and if interested, please contact Ora Bobeldyk.

Operation Christmas Child:  Fall is here and it’s time to think about Operation Christmas Child.  Please consider packing a box for boys and girls that may not get a Christmas gift at all this year.  When packing shoe boxes make them fun, full, and personalized for each child.  Collection dates are November 18-25 at noon.  This gives you plenty of time to take the kids or grandkids shopping and let them help you make gift choices.  The $10.00 donation is being covered by the church again this year so you don’t have that expense when you are packing your box.  The boxes are here and ready to be filled.  Thanks in advance!

Bloodmobile:  There will be a Red Cross blood drive at the First Reformed Church in Edgerton on Monday, November 18, 2024 from 12:30 until 6:30. Please call Betty at 507-227-4816 or fbhuisken@gmail.com to make or confirm an appointment.  There is a constant need for blood.  Every 2 seconds, someone/somewhere in the U.S.A.  needs a unit of blood.   Anyone 16 years (with parental consent) or older and in good health is able to donate.

Thank You:  Everyone from Edge Youth wants to extend a huge thank you to all who donated items for the Edgerton Food Shelf during our scavenger hunt this past Wednesday! With your help we were able to donate over 1,000 items! Also, to the parents who volunteered to help, we appreciate you! Thank you for helping us achieve this and forwarding this on to bless those in need!
