This next week, we will be given the opportunity to reflect on the goodness of God
and all the many reasons He has given us to be thankful. We best show our
appreciation of God’s goodness by spreading His love to others. So take time, make
time, to share gratitude with family and friends on this week of Thanksgiving.
Go out of your way to share the love of Christ with someone who is hurting or
lonely. You will find that ultimately, you will be the greatest beneficiary of the
kindness you bestow. On behalf of the Fellowship Elders and Staff, let me thank you
for your service to God through Fellowship. Your spirit of commitment and generosity
make Fellowship a wonderful place to serve. Great opportunities are on the horizon
because of His goodness to us and your faithfulness to Him.
May you have a blessed Thanksgiving.
Do you have trouble accepting God’s grace in your life for past sins?
Please consider a few important year-end reminders. All financial gifts and
contributions to Fellowship are considered charitable giving and are tax-deductible.
According to IRS rules, a contribution is recognized on the date of delivery, so, mail
must be postmarked no later than December 31, 2014.

Belize Mission Trip
Fellowship College is traveling to Belize in January once again to continue our work
in the village of Otoxcha. College students are raising money for this trip and would
like to “work” for you to receive support for their trip. If you have any jobs around the
house you have been putting off, Christmas lights installed, kids or animals watched,
whatever it may be, please consider “hiring” one of our students.
Celebrate Recovery is for anyone with hurts, habits and hang-ups. We meet every
Friday night starting at 6:00pm for a meal or 7:00pm for worship. Visit with us at
Booth F today, or visit our website celebraterecovery.fellowshipnwa.org. Childcare
is provided.
Hurting or struggling teen?
Celebrate Recovery for teens, "The Landing”, is a 52 week program that parallels the
adults and kids program following the identical curriculum in teen language. Giving
hope, truth, joy and new friendships. Friday nights 7:00-9:00pm in the Student Center.

Fellowship's financial partners' must deliver checks on or by this date in order to
claim a charitable contribution deduction for 2014. Checks that are placed in the
offering during the first worship service in 2015 will not qualify for a charitable
deduction in 2014, even if the check is predated to 2014 or was actually written
in 2014. However, checks that are written, mailed, and postmarked in 2014 will be
deductible in 2014, though they may not be received by Fellowship until 2015. The
following giving options are also available for year-end giving:
Cash Contributions: There is a drop-box located outside the Training Center reception area which can be used for contribution drop-off. Keep in mind that the
church offices are closed for the Christmas holidays (Thursday, December 25 and
will reopen Friday, January 2, 2015). In order to consider the contribution for 2014, it
must be put in the box by Midnight Dec. 31, 2014.
◾Direct deductions can be made from your bank account through your myFellowship
account until noon (due to banking cut-off rules) on December 31, 2014.
◾Credit or Debit card deduction can be made through your myFellowship account
until midnight, December 31, 2014.
◾Stock gifts: Fellowship has an investment representative who is available to accept
stock transfers. Since this takes a few days to take place, it must be initiated a
few days prior to year end. Contact Lamar Steiger if you need more assistance or
information.
Your Fellowship contribution statements will be mailed by January 31, 2015.
Statements are also available online by accessing your myFellowship account.
Statements will be sent out to the name and address that is on file in your
myFellowship account. Please log in to your account and verify your address prior
to December 31. If you have not set up an account, sign up today. Checking your
account will insure that we have your current address and that our records are
correct. The Finance Department is here to serve you. If you need help, please
contact Lamar Steiger at 659.3628, lasteiger@fellowshipnwa.org or
Glenda McSpadden at 659-3695, glmcspadden@fellowshipnwa.org.
Thank you Fellowship, for your continued support!
