Friends,

With the Thanksgiving holiday around the corner and the close of the semester near, I wanted to share with you a number of worship, service and social opportunities coming up soon or early next semester:

Evensong schedule - Believe it or not, there are only four Sundays left in the semester. Our upcoming plans include:

11/16 - Margaret Childers Jones (a recent CU grad who works with teen pregnancy and abstinance issues in Charleston)

        11/23 - Edward Gidewall (Jess Child's boyfriend who's in seminary in Texas)
        11/30 - Senior Night
        12/7 - Last Evensong of the Year (with a night of praise, prayer and worship to follow)

Ministers Cookoff (Thu, 11/13) - Come enjoy dinner Daniel HS on Thursday from 5-6:30 pm for the annual ministers' cookoff to benefit the Safe Harbor Women's Shelter in Anderson. Tickets are sold for $1 each and are redeemed for different kinds of foods. If you'd like to help Lane cook 12-15 apple pies for the occasion, come to CUMC at 2 pm on Thursday afternoon.

Habitat Build (thru Fri, 11/14) - This year most of the time slots for the Habitat Build were reserved within a few hours of the site opening up onlilne (HforH club members get first dibs). If you'd still like to work, however, head out to Bowman one day when you have a few spare hours. There's a good chance that someone will not show up and you'll be able to pitch in.

Guarding the Habitat House/Overnight (Fri, 11/14) - Once again this year CW will guard the Habitat House on Bowman field. If you can be there at 5 pm, contact Jad (jadtaylor@gmail.com). If you can cook some chili (for us and others working Bowman), contact Ross (reco05@gmail.com).

Wanna Dance? - Go to www.clemsonrave.com

Tigers Go Local Missions Day (Sat, 11/22) - Contact Chris Conley (wconley@clemson.edu) for more details.

Ring the Bell for Salvation Army (Fri 11/28 - Sat, 11/29) - Looking for folks who can ring the bell in two hour increments at the local Bloom grocery store (on the way to Seneca). This is a great way to give back to those with less during this holiday season. Contact Lane (glaze@clemson.edu) to sign up or for details.

CUMC Advent Workshop (Sun, 11/30) - From 4 - 6:30 pm folks of all ages will be gathering at Clemson UMC to beginning preparing for the Advent Season.  All college students are invited, but the church needs to know how many to plan for. If you'd like to participate, email Lane at glaze@clemson.edu.

Faculty/Staff "Thank You's" (Sun, 11/30) - Be thinking of the faculty or staff person that you would like to thank for what he/she has done for you this semester.  We'll have supplies on hand on Sunday, 11/30 at Evensong for you to create a personalized "thank you" care package to deliver the last week of class.

"We Love Freshmen" Night (TBA - last week of classes) - Be on the lookout for more details on this special (and somewhat secretive?) event designed to encourage freshmen as they prepare for their first college exams.

Christmas Caroling (Fri, 12/5) - Plan on meeting at CUMC at 5 pm, and we'll carpool to Larry and Lynda Sheppard's neighborhood for another fun night of caroling, hot cider and homeade cookies. This is a great time of outreach to this neighborhood, many of whom are not connected to a community of faith.

Christmas Drop In at the Glazes (Sat, 12/6) - Plan on stopping by Chez Glaze for some delicious homeade soup, sweets and other goodies. This year, Carrie Smith and Katherine Cragon will also seek to defend their foosball title. Check the website for times, and email Lane for directions.

Five Days of Christmas (Mon, 12/8 - Fri, 12/12) - Once again this year we'll be sponsoring movie nights during exam week. If you'd like to host one of these nights at your apartment or house, contact Jad (jadtaylor@gmail.com or EJ (earlr@clemson.edu).

MLK Day of Service (Mon, 1/19) - Once again in January CW will be trying to send a group to the Tamassee-DAR school (where Elizabeth Good now works) as a part of the MLK Day of Service. Persons must sign up, however, as individuals. Go online to the following link as soon as possible before the spots get filled: http://stuaff.clemson.edu/app/gic/mlk/day_of_service/

Blessings to you all, lane
