Mud Season - With the wet and/or snowy weather coming, the parking lot becomes muddy! Please wipe off your shoes when you enter the building on the mats provided. Parents, encourage your children to do the same. Also, the exit door at the back of the Fellowship Hall is not an entry door. There are no mats there to remove mud/dirt/snow from shoes. Please re-enter through the main doors. Thank you!

From the Finance Ministry Team - Consistent, cheerful giving is a vital part of supporting the work here at Tintern. Jesus reminds us that it's a blessing to give to Kingdom work here in our community. We encourage you to prayerfully consider your giving during these last few weeks of the calendar year. Please consider catching up on any donations you may have missed over the year, or adding to your regular gift as we close out our fiscal year.

The Finance Ministry Team will be presenting a Budget for your approval on Sun Dec 14th during adult class. They will be sending out a draft later this month. 

November Friday Night Connect - Join us TOMORROW at 7pm for BINGO night. We'll be playing classic rounds and also mixing it up a bit with some unique versions. There will be prizes and snacks. Bring a highlighter and a friend! Thanks to Sydney and Aidan Porter for helping host!  

WHAT IS IT ABOUT TINTERN? - FROM MICAH AND SANDY
Thank you! to the five people who participated this past Sunday in the video project. Your depth of love for God, and how He continues to buoy you at Tintern, was deeply felt.

This Sunday, four more people will participate during class time.  
We have decided to extend the deadline to Sunday, November 23. If you have wondered at all whether or not you have something encouraging to offer, You Do.  Please reach out to micahrose99@gmail.com OR Sandy: resilient979@gmail.com if you need to know more, or wish to sign up for the 23rd. 

TRUTH Fall Event - On November 22, those who signed up with Megan are going to TRAPPED Escape Room in Niagara Falls, followed by dinner at the Cat Cafe. Leaving church at 2p. Cost is $30 + money for dinner. 

Garbage Bin Key - If you borrowed the key (last Sunday??) for the garbage bin, please return as soon as possible.

CCWN Christmas Hamper & Angel Program - Tintern has joined with CCWN to provide Christmas gifts and gift cards for those who are needing support. If you would like to participate please take a tag or two from the Christmas tree in the front foyer. Please do not wrap items. However, gift bags and tissue paper are gladly appreciated. ALL items must be returned to the Christmas tree by Wednesday December 3. Thank you for helping Tintern Give More in 2025!!

Call Out to Bakers - Great Lakes is planning to sell trays of assorted cookies and squares at the Great Lakes play, Sherlock Homes, on Dec. 5th and 6th as a fundraiser. We would love to get volunteers to make and donate cookies and/or squares for us to sell. Funds for this fundraiser will go towards several initiatives ($ to student council for banquet tickets, purchasing tables for the gym, helping out with $2000 for the Winter Retreat, and creating exam packages for the dorm students).

Thank you!

Ruth Zimmerman - On Sunday December 28 during adult class time, Ruth will be bringing us a presentation on her work in Papua New Guinea.

Attention, Seniors! - Would you be interested in renewing a regular (e.g., monthly) gathering at Tintern for fellowship, good food, and even better conversation? These gatherings ended with the pandemic, and because they were such a source of encouragement, some of us “oldies but goodies” are wondering if we might give them a new start in the new year! So, the first step is to determine the level of interest. To that end, would you please send a message to Phyllis at swmbo67@gmail.com by December 1 to indicate your interest? This will allow for time to plan for the year to come. Let’s continue to encourage one another!

Volunteer Opportunities - West Lincoln Memorial Hospital Auxiliary is looking for new volunteers. Men or women. Opportunities abound. If interested please click here to go to the auxiliary web site for details and to sign up. It would be so appreciated even if you could volunteer once a week for a few hours. The new hospital is currently on schedule to open Monday November 24, 2025. If you would like more information please talk to Linda M. 

Poinsettia Fundraiser - Your Preschools Inc is selling poinsettias as a fundraiser. Red or white flowers are available for $15.00 each. If you would like one (or two) please see Crystal C. Payment can be cash, cheque or e-transfer to yourpreschools@gmail.com 

Lost & Found Table - Last call! At the back of the auditorium is a table with some items that have been left behind. Take a look and see if anything is yours.

Picture Bulletin Board - Thanks to those that have sent in their new pictures. New pictures are on the bulletin board with more to come. Margaret is still collecting family pictures to update our picture bulletin board.

Nonperishable Items - For the month of November, we are collecting spices, condiments, baking ingredients and cooking oil. All non-perishable items gladly accepted!
