5th Sunday Reminder - November 30th is the 5th Sunday of the month and we will not have Sunday school classes for grades K-8. Nursery and preschool will be available. 

Congregational Meeting - A meeting to adopt the 2026 local ministry budget and elect officers for next year will be held at 7:00 pm in rooms 5/6 on Tuesday, December 9th. While only church members have voting privileges, everyone is encouraged to attend. 

Women’s Event - Ladies, join us Friday, December 5, 6:00 - 8:30 pm for an evening of fun, fellowship and preparing our hearts for the Christmas season! We're bringing back the "Claim a table" event...with a twist! This year, we will share food around tables and then enjoy the Prepare Him Room virtual event. Prepare Him Room is an invitation to intentionally make space to seek Jesus amid the holiday rush. Visit 12thave.org/prepare to fill out the online form to register your own table or join a table.   

NAVIDAD CON JESUS - It is that time of year!  United in Christ Ministries will send a team from Kansas to help distribute gift bags at the ministry locations in Mexico. The PACKING PARTY will be Saturday, December 13th, 2:00 - 4:00 pm in the West Building to put bags together for distribution on the Christmas mission trip. 

WAYS YOU CAN HELP!
1) Purchase items and bring them to the church by December 8th. 

2) Build your own bag. Pick up a two-gallon bag from the Connection Center and put together a bag for a certain age/gender of child. Completed bags can be turned in at the church office or south building lobby until December 18th.

3) Give a financial gift. If you would prefer to send a financial gift, make gift checks to UICM – Navidad con Jesus or purchase a Wal-Mart gift card. Drop gifts off at the church office for UICM. 

 4) Come to the packing party on Saturday, December 13th and help pack bags! Thank you for supporting this mission! If you have any questions, please contact uicmwks@gmail.com.

First Service Time Change – Beginning January 4, 2026, first service will start at 9:00 a.m. every Sunday. We are growing and our parking lot is often full when people begin to arrive for second service!  We hope the extra 15-minute window will make for a smoother transition. Second service will continue with the 11:00 am start time.

 Serving Opportunities – We have many opportunities to serve at TABC. If you feel your talents and skills can be stewarded to serve our church body, please visit 12thave.org/serve.
