Thursday, November 20 at Smithville Christian High
School. New families are invited to arrive at 6:45 for a
reception and orientation. There will be a time for coffee
and interaction with fellow members from 7:45 – 8:00.
Meeting highlights include election of new board members, and an update on the ‘In Motion Campaign.’ Make
sure you come out to hear how God is blessing our
school and society!

lunch and a time to socialize with other
Jubilee members. Maps with directions to
their home are on the Kiosk.
Installation of Niagara Falls Church Planter: You are
warmly invited to the Installation of Allen Kleine Deters as
Church Planter in Niagara Falls. Please join us Sunday,
November 23, 2014, anytime after 12:00 pm, for a light
luncheon and stand‑up reception. A time of communal
worship and the installation will begin at 1:00 PM.
Sermon Recordings: Reminder that Jubilee's services are
streamed live on our website every Sunday morning, and
we put up permanent recordings of the sermons on our
website on Mondays. However, if you require CDs made
of the services, either consistently or as a one time thing,
you can email our Tech Coordinator at
tech@jubileecrc.org in order to get a CD made and left
in your mailbox by the following Sunday. (To ensure that
you receive it on the following Sunday, please email your
request in by Wednesday. Thank you.)
Jubilee Night: This week's meal is Sweet
& Sour Sausage with Rice & Spinach Salad. The cost of the meal is $3.00 per
person; $8 for 3 persons and $10 for a
family of 4 or more. Nursery Care—
Rebekah VandenBurg, Bernice Warkentin, Linda Lensink
Care Packages for College and University Students: Today
is the final day to sign up. There will be a sign up sheet on
the table beside office. Please sign your name beside one
or more college/university student
(s). Then, by next Sunday, November 23, prepare a Christmas card
for that student and place in the
Folkerts mailbox along with $12.
We will take care of the rest. Any
questions, speak to Albert Kok or
Elza Folkerts.
Fire Drill: Following today’s service we will have a fire drill.
All public gathering places are now mandated by the fire
department to hold a fire drill. The purpose of a fire drill is
to ensure that everyone is familiar with emergency evacuation procedures, resulting in an orderly evacuation, and to
ensure that in case of a real fire the evacuation procedures
will be followed smoothly. Please take some time this week
to review the fire evacuation procedures that were emailed
to you along with the bulletin. Ushers, Nursery attendants
and Joy Jam leaders, in particular are asked to take note of
these instructions so you are aware of what actions to take
when the fire alarm is pulled.
Calling all seamstresses: Our Joy Jam Jr. ministry would
like to provide some Bible character costumes for our
younger children so that they can "dress the part" of the Bible characters that they are learning about each Sunday
morning. If you have old material that is not being used or
are willing to pull out your sewing machine and create
some fun dress‑up clothes for this ministry, please contact
Stacy Kok. Thanks.
