| Vital Conversations on ImmigrationNovember 30 | 9:45 am | Fellowship Hall
Please join this four-week Advent study series, Vital Conversations on Immigration. This study, provided by the General Commission on Religion and Race of The United Methodist Church, guides us in learning more about immigration, which is not merely a political issue—a theological and spiritual matter deeply rooted in our Christian faith.
Meetings for weeks 2 - 4 (December 7, 14, & 21) will be held from 4 - 5 pm on Zoom. For the Zoom link and more information, please email Pastor Earl at pastorearl@uumc.org. |

| Service of Worship Sunday @ 11 amScripture: Philippians 4:4-9
Hope you’ll join us this Sunday for a message about being thankful in the midst of all the things happening in the world. Paul tells us to rejoice and not be anxious about anything but that’s easier said than done. |

Poinsettia Orders
Each year, we order beautiful poinsettias from Down Home Ranch to decorate our sanctuary for the Advent Season. You may dedicate a poinsettia in memory of, or in honor or, a loved one. Each plant is $12 and you may order at uumc.org/poinsettias.
If you’d prefer to pay via cash or check, there are forms available for you in the Front Office. Poinsettias will be in the sanctuary through the Advent season and Christmas Eve. You may pick up your poinsettias after the service on December 25th. We will publish a list of memorials and honorees in the Lessons & Carols worship bulletin for all orders placed before November 30. |

Christmas Eve Volunteers NeededIt takes many hands to have the wonderful Christmas Eve services here at UUMC. From greeter and ushers to communion servers to candle lighters/extinguishers, there are lots of jobs available. If you’ll be here on Christmas Eve, we’d love the help. Email Renee at renee@uumc.org to volunteer. |

Goal is in reach! We have received 148 pledge cards totaling $784,389 toward our $850,000 “Dare to Dream” stewardship goal. That goal is very much achievable — if everyone who pledged in 2025 renews or increases their commitments for 2026.
We don’t like to assume that giving will continue past the current pledge year. If you haven’t submitted your pledge for 2026, please turn in a card soon or communicate your plans with finance director Cindy Reeves at finance@uumc.org or 512-478-9387 x224 so we can count on your contribution.
This will help us to get to work on preparing the church's budget for next year and ensuring that our beloved missions carry on uninterrupted.
Thank you for all the ways you display generosity to UUMC, and thank you for making a financial commitment for the coming year. |

We're happy to report that our Youth returned safe and sound from their camping trip. Lots of fun was had by everyone! They ended their trip with a meal not cooked via campfire. |
