Are you spending Thanksgiving in
Charlotte? Would you be interested in having someone
join you and your family for a Thanksgiving meal? Are
you spending Thanksgiving alone this year? Then we’ve
got news for you! We would like to connect the body
of StoneBridge over a Thanksgiving meal. If you are
interested in hosting or being hosted – email us
at TGriggs@Stonebridgecharlotte.com
your name, phone number,
area of town you live in and if you want to be a host or
if you’d like to be hosted. We will finalize the
list and contact you on Monday, November
24th.
Ladies Vine Life announced a challenge at the Hospitality Forum last month. You can still join in even if you were not at the Forum. The Challenge - Invite one person, a family or a couple whom you don’t know well and someone you know very well over for dinner, dessert or even out to coffee. When you do, give out 3 “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” keychain tags available at the church. You keep 1 tag and give 3 key tags to each family/couple/guest. Then challenge your guests to host their own dinner. By doing the same thing, your guests would then invite two people, couples or families to an event and then give away 2 key tags and have their own to keep. The goal is that 300 families in our church would be invited by the March Vine Life retreat! You can have as many events as you want! After your event, email Kathy Jackson at kjackson29@carolina.rr.com so that we can keep a running count!
StoneBridge be part of sharing the joy of
Christmas once again this year with our neighbors across

up a bag to fill with fruit for one of
our neighbors. Their needs will be displayed on
The Giving Tree starting, Sunday, November 23rd.
There will also be bags that you can pick up to be filled
with fruit. If you would like to have the same person
you had last year or have any questions, please contact

neighborhood. For example:
- Volunteering at a local inclusive preschool classroom
- Assisting in Sunday School or Wednesday Night GEMS
- Helping to create materials (color, cut, Velcro, etc)
Our quarterly Blood Drive will be on Saturday, December 6th from 8:00 am – Noon. Are you willing to donate blood to save a life? Sign up by calling the church office at 704 549-8272.

StoneBridge would like to begin a van shuttle ministry for Prosperity Creek Apartment residents. We would like to be able to offer weekly trips to Food Lion, Wal-mart, and Target. You would use a 9 passenger van which does not require a special license. Would YOU be willing to drive one time a week? One time a month? We are working on the November schedule. If you are willing to drive, please email Jenny & Tom Cox at SRC1025IRC1029@mindspring.com with your availability.
