<br>--------------------------
 
<p>Believing that marriage is part of God's design and that God means it to be a lifelong commitment (Matt. 19:4-6) and being aware that marriage can be a challenge and has much against it in our society, the Pastors and Elders want to encourage and support healthy marriages at Jubilee. Through the marriage survey placed in spouses' mailboxes last week, they hope to learn how to help and be supportive. Please return surveys to Fern (elder of nurture) or put in her mailbox by Sunday, November 30. Questions, see Duane, Elaine, Jeff, Anita, or Fern.

<p>There will be a Healing Retreat at Pine Lake Camp on December 5-6. This retreat is for persons looking for spiritual, emotional, or physical healing; for those who need a special touch from God. You can find a brochure by the camp bulletin board. For more information, talk to Beth Graybill or Elaine Maust.

<p>Join us on Saturday, December 6 at 7:00 for the Ladies' Christmas Party! Please bring one snack to share and a wrapped $5 gift for our annual exchange. See Cynthia Clymer with questions or directions to her house. 

<p>Jr Youth, come to the progressive supper on Saturday, December 13! We plan to meet and car pool from Cynthia's house at 4:45 and return by 8:00.  Please bring yourself, along with a $5 unisex gift.  See Cynthia Clymer with questions.

<p>With gratitude, the church council is pleased to announce that the $6500 to fund a Youth & Young Adult Minister for one year has now been raised!  The Leadership Discernment Team is proceeding with the application and interview process in order to fill the position in a timely manner.  Please continue to pray for God's guidance!

<p><i>Media Links</i> has been placed in your mailboxes.  In it you will find insights and stories of God at work in our world through media.

<p>In your mailbox you will find the November issue of Jubilee's newsletter, <i>Where We Are</i>, as well as the minutes from the November church council meeting.

<p>If you have items for the December calendar, please contact DeeDee Baldwin this week.

<p>Happy Birthday to LaQuisha Earl (Nov 26) and Zoe Clymer (Nov 27)!
