Advent Readers
We would love to have you help us worship each Sunday during advent November 27- December 18. Each Sunday and Christmas Eve we need help at each of our services to read the advent theme as well as light the advent candles. Please let Pastor Darlene or Hope know if you would like to help and you will receive the reading ahead of time. There will also be a sign-up sheet at the welcome center.
December Missionary of the Month Frank & Beth Kuligowski
The Kuligowskis have been on staff with Cru for over 20 years. After serving in the Middle East for about 13 years, they moved to Cru’s worldwide headquarters in Orlando, Florida, to continue their work to help fulfill the Great Commission. Beth has served Cru staff in a number of ways since they arrived there through her roles in internal communications and staff care, while Frank focuses on online outreaches. He is still actively involved in an online outreach to Middle Easterners which gives people the opportunity to hear the gospel, and connect to the local Body of Christ. Their son John is in college in Indiana and their daughters Abby & Kirsten are at home.

Wildare Transition Team
We are so thankful for all of God’s Blessing as we celebrated Thanksgiving this year. God really blessed us as we worked together to pack the Shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. We are very thankful for all who help in our Ministries as we work and serve the Lord together at Wildare. We look forward to the Christmas Season as we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.
Wildare will always be a Bible based, Christ centered church, where the Gospel of Jesus Christ is proclaimed. We will work together to make disciples and serve the Lord in Ministry and Missions. Our programs, minis- tries, services, our people, and our love for the Lord has not changed, and all are welcome. As we move forward, the Administrative Board approved developing a committee to complete the disaffiliation process, develop a Prayer Team to provide a coordinated prayer effort through our transition and launch a financial campaign to secure funds for the disaffiliation payment in May 2023. Everyone is welcome to our first meeting as we start to work through this process together. The first meeting will be Monday, December 5 @ 6:00 p.m.

Red Cross Blood Drive
Thursday, December 8th noon to 6PM. The date has been changed, sorry for any confusion. With the colder weather, I thought it would be nice to have homemade soups for our donors, so Wildare family soup makers, can you help? You can drop off your crock pot of soup before noon, and pick up any leftovers at 6:30. If you're not really a soup maker, we always need your tasty desserts, or maybe a salad. Pizza would go well too. Thank you for supporting our American Red Cross Blood Drives, donating blood saves lives, give life.
