The Board of World Fellowship (BWF) will hold its monthly meeting at 7:30 PM on Tuesday, November 11th, at the apartment of Bob Petrus, 32 Black’s Lane, Apt. 1, Springfield. The BWF is “the outreach arm of Christ Church with a mission to serve and facilitate the endeavors of local, national, and international communities through financial and/or volunteer support organizations, projects, and emergency relief efforts” (BWF Guidelines, August 2003).

The BWF members urge Christ Church congregants, who have been closely involved with organizations and projects which would prosper further with BWF help, to contact any Board member. The names and e-mail addresses of Board members can be found in the “Lists” on the Member Pages of the church website, www.ccsnj.org. Please contact any Board member for information and applications. The Board truly welcomes supporting the volunteer efforts and interests of our congregation.

Coffee Hour Hosts: Hosting opportunities are available on November 16 and 30, and December 28. See Sally Weggeland at Coffee Hour.

Christ Church will hold a Food Drive from November 2nd through November 23. As you probably know, area Food Banks are receiving fewer donations while at the same time experiencing greater demand. Let’s do what we can to help. Please bring non perishable food items and frozen turkeys to the church. Turkeys can go into the freezer and non perishable items can be placed on the table between the Elevator and the Nursery on the first floor.

Girls’ Night Out at Beadlux, Thursday, November 13th, 6:45: Please join us for some wine and appetizers while we use our creativity to make jewelry for ourselves or as a gift. Please email Carol Angle at jerseyangle@aolcom.
