Sunday School Announcement from the Nursery
1. BONUS FUND:
Last Sunday was our kickoff for the Nursery worker bonus fund. Please continue to announce this in your Sunday School class. This is such an important ministry and we are really praying that we can meet our goal of $10,000 this year. Make sure you turn your envelope in with your class folder each week so we can keep track of the money collected.
2. CRAFT COLLECTION:
We are collecting empty plastic milk/water jugs, used paper towel rolls and toilet paper rolls. There will be a box located by the check-in desk both on the nursery floor (SonShine Valley) and on the 2nd floor (Merry Midlands) of the Children's building. Please feel to drop off these items as you collect them!
3. HOLIDAY PARENTS NIGHT OUT:
We are offering Parent's Night Out on four different days in December.
We are hoping that Sunday School classes will use these as a great opportunity to host their class Christmas parties. The dates are: Friday, Dec 12 from 4:45-9:45 Saturday, Dec 13 from 4:45-9:45 Friday, Dec 19 from 4:45-9:45 Saturday, Dec 20 from 4:45-9:45 This is open to Covenant members and non-members, children ages 6 weeks-10 years old, cost is $25 for 1st child and $5 for each additional. Reservations are recommended but not required. Please call 871-7004 to make reservations. This is not simply a babysitting service! We have fun things planned for each evening: decorating cookies, making homemade pizzas, arts and crafts, etc.

Angel Tree
Angel Tree is a ministry of Prison Fellowship.
Each child has at least one parent who is incarcerated.
Without our help,
these children might not have any gifts for Christmas.
Adopting angels is one way to demonstrate
our love for one another.
Please consider adopting an angel this year.
You can adopt an angel in the foyer before the late service on Sunday Nov 9th or Sunday Nov 16th or by emailing maggieshelton@bellsouth.net or calling Maggie Shelton at 205-533-3120.
Also, we would love for your Sunday School Class to adopt a family of children (or multiples families)!
NOTE: There is no minimum spending limit but we do ask that each child receive at least one piece of clothing or shoes and one other item.
Gifts (unwrapped) are due back to the church no later than
Wednesday December 3rd.
Details will be provided with your angel information
at the time of adoption.
There are 50 angels who need to be adopted.
Please adopt today!
