ANNUAL THANKSGIVING BANQUET
Sunday, Nov 20. Here’s how the day will go: Worship as usual at 9:30.
CONNECT ONLINE Following worship, we will make our way to the CLC gym. This year’s program
will be Nick Sheffield and several of our UT Tyler singers offering up some

beautiful music starting at 11:00a.m. Then around 11:30, we will serve lunch
and dessert!
Every year our denomination’s special Thanksgiving offering goes to Higher Education to help our Disciples related
Colleges and Universities (ex. TCU, Jarvis, Philips Seminary). This year, rather than confuse that offering with a
different offering for our banquet, we are joining the two giving opportunities together. The idea of the banquet is
that all of us eating around the tables give to the special offering the amount of money we would have spent eating
this meal out ($12-$15). Regardless, our Outreach Ministry hopes you will come and enjoy good food, and good
company for a good cause.
CELEBRATION AND COMMITMENT: NEXT STEPS
In response to our pledges on Oct 30, FCC’s Finance Committee will next
work to “right size” our budget for 2023. Finance’s proposed budget will
then be considered by the Board on Nov. 16. And, the budget the Board
passes will then be brought before our congregation for a vote on Sunday,
Dec. 4 at 10:35 a.m. in Disciples Hall.
If you plan to give in 2023 and have not yet let us know your intentions,
please contact Tricia Anderson in the Church Office or turn in your pledge
card as soon as possible. We are truly in this “together for joy.”
Thank you to everyone who helped make the

Pumpkin Patch so successful again this year!
More than 200 people volunteered their time in
various ways!
...And the effort is paying off! As of printing
time, we’ve hit more than $30,000 in sales —
the marker we needed to keep
the highest percentage of
those sales available to us.
Thanks to you, we’re serving

our own children and youth
ministries and giving back to
the community through the
Pumpkin Patch!
