Read ahead of time and come prepared to discuss an essay by Pam Oliver’s daughter Zee whom long-time ORUCC members will remember. It summarizes Howard Thurman’s Jesus and the Disinherited and then asks what following its dictates would
look like if you are a worker in food service.

Programming for Children
November 20th
9am: Parents are invited to join Julie Mazer & Julia Burkey in the Dietrich Bonhoeffer room downstairs for a conversation about Christmas Eve service!
Nursery Care opens at 8:30. Antonia and Joey are ready to play with your little one.
Kindergarten-5th grade will complete their Prayer study. This week’s focus is: ”Thanksgiving” In this practice, the children will be invited to consider what they are thankful for in their physical world. Any idea is welcome, even simple things like our walls! “I am thankful for the walls because they help create our space.” At the art station, they will create a thanksgiving collage. And, at the world station they will be invited to paint (with watercolors) a scene of the many things they are thankful for in God’s creation. Paul Vash, Jadyn Gilbert, Karen Jaehnig will guide them through the discussion and active stations.
Looking ahead, NO Sunday School next Sunday, 11/27. Instead, join Julia Burkey in Friendship Hall for our 2nd annual Advent Wreath making event.

November Compassion Offering
Our 3 Neighborhood Schools–Anana Elementary, Orchard Ridge Elementary & Toki Middle School
 
Our 3 neighborhood schools – Anana Elementary, Orchard Ridge Elementary, and Toki Middle School — are always in need of our support. And this is especially true in 2022, when budgets are tight and when so many families living in southwest Madison are stretched financially.  
 
As you’ll see from this short video, each school is planning to make use of our compassion offering in different ways. These range from funding basic supplies, to providing students with winter clothing, to paying for yearbooks so no child is left without one, and to beautifying a stage so students and staff can take pride in their facility. 
 
We invite you to please give generously and give what you can in support of our neighborhood schools. Thank you Orchard Ridge United Church of Christ for your timely and generous support!
 
 
You can make a donation by check, on the memo line, please write “compassion” and mail to ORUCC, 1501 Gilbert Road, Madison, WI 53711, or donate online at orucc.org. Click the brown button “Contribute” in the upper right of the home page or click this LINK.
