Continued prayers for all those who are dealing with illness, or are recovering at home and in the hospital, and for all those who continue to grieve the loss of loved ones.

Fellowship CRC would like to invite you to The Color Christmas Concert. Tickets are available at Fellowship. The concert starts at 7 p.m. and tickets start at $20 each.

October 19 Offering: The 2nd offering is for Ministry to the Seafarers parcels. Every year at this time we collect monies for Christmas parcels (gift bags) that are given to the Seafarers that visit the Ministry to the Seafarers centre in Montreal in the month of December. The life of a seafarer is very lonely, often spending months at a time away from family and loved ones, including over Christmas. These parcels show Christ's love, and let them know they are seen, loved, and valued by us. For more info, or if you wish to pack your own parcel, see ministrytoseafarers.org/parcels.

October 26 Offering: The second collection is for Ebenezer Mealbox program, which is a bi-weekly outreach ministry that prepares mealboxes to be made available for pick up or delivery in Trenton for those experiencing food insecurity. familydinnermealbox@gmail.com
