Covenant's Latest Announcements
I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends last week. We look forward to seeing everybody tomorrow as we get back into Dr. Jim Judge's series on the The Minor Characters of the Bible. You won't want to miss what he has coming up next.
Covenant Announcements:
1. This Sunday is the first of December, so please join us for lunch at Portillo's immediately after the 9:45am service. Last month was a great time as we took over and packed out the party room. Hopefully you can join us and get to know somebody new.
2. Please put on your calendars and RSVP to the Evite for the Covenant Christmas Party on December 16th. We love our children in Covenant, but this is one of the few events we do where it is adults only and we actually get a chance to have some conversations longer that 2 minutes. It will be a great time of fun, food, and fellowship. Knowing this group, the ugly Christmas sweaters will be spectacular and there will be prizes!
3. The Leadership team of Covenant will be having a planning session coming up to pray and to begin planning for the coming year. Covenant is your adult community, the Leadership team simply tries to keep it moving. If you have any comments, suggestions, speakers to invite to class(maybe you), or ideas to make Covenant better at loving God, growing together, and reaching the world, please reach out to the Adams', Weston's, Heth's or Linenger's.
Greater Church Announcements:
1. 2 WEEK BEGIN: Dec 11 and 18 at 11:15, Turn to the person next to you and ask, “Have you attended Begin?” If not, tell them, “This is the time to do it.” This is a special condensed two week session to learn about the vision and mission of Wheaton Bible Church. Through these two sessions, you will also learn how and where to connect to Community Life. If you have attended, tell others about Begin, especially during this Holiday Season and encourage them to take advantage of this opportunity. Contact Rhonda Ford, rford@wheatonbible.or to reserve your seat.

2. Christmas Toy Drive This year we are inviting families to bring a new, unwrapped gift for a child or teen and change Christmas for a local family. Community Outreach and Iglesia del Pueblo will use the toys to help reach families with the love of Jesus this Christmas. Toys will be collected through December on the main and lower level of the Children’s Ministry lobbies and outside the East Worship Center. Questions, contact Pam Moore, 630.876.6627, pmoore@wheatonbible.org.
3. Building a Christmas Memory Saturday Dec. 10 Gather your family and join us to celebrate Christmas “family-Style.” Families will make gingerbread nativity sets, view a Christmas Drama, sing Christmas carols and participate in fun audience games! Two sessions are available at 9:00 or 10:15. Registration is required. Since you have read this far, the first person to respond to me with the words "ugly sweater", gets an extra special shout out in Covenant on Sunday and a little gift. Go to wheatonbible.org for more info and to register.
