Spilled cereal, sibling squabbles, and a race to get out the door. Peace can feel hard to come by with little ones at home. Moms, join us on Tuesday, November 10th, from 9:30 to 11:30 AM in the cafe, as Morning Fellowship looks at Parenting with Peace. Grab a coffee and a light breakfast, meet other moms in the same season, and close the morning in small-group prayer. Free childcare is available by reservation, so register your kids here. RSVP through the Sprouts group so we have enough food and seats. Questions? Email sprouts@confluence.church.

Where did Mormonism come from, and how does it differ from biblical Christianity? Is it one more branch of the Christian faith, or something else entirely? And when missionaries knock on your door, what do you say? Join us Wednesday, December 9, from 6:30 to 8:00 PM to walk through the history, learn the key differences, and hear how to have real conversations with Latter-day Saints. Childcare is available through 5th grade; please register your kids ahead of time.

Each year, our church family builds Thanksgiving food baskets for families in our church and community who could use a little help this season. Sign up to provide a basket, and you'll get the shopping list right away. Grab a friend or your home group and build one together! Baskets are due at the church office by Sunday, November 15.

Men, our usual Men's Breakfast looks a lot different this month. Join us Saturday, November 14, at 7:30 AM at the church, where we'll grab a portable breakfast and carpool to a Solitude Session off-site. Jesus often withdrew to desolate places to pray (Luke 5:16), and a Solitude Session follows His example. After a brief introduction, you'll settle into a quiet spot and seek the Lord through guided Scripture reading, with space to listen to His voice and return ready for the work He has prepared for you. Bring your Bible, a camp chair, and warm layers. The cost is still $5. Sign up now!

Operation Christmas Child is coming back to Confluence, and our gym will serve as the Auburn Central Drop Off during collection week, November 15–23. Stop by the OCC table in the lobby on Sundays, November 8, 15, and 22, to learn how to fill a shoebox with gifts for a child, then bring your finished box that week. The drop off also needs volunteers to help pack boxes for shipping, so sign up for a shift today.

Legacy Christian School needs a full-time 3rd grade teacher from December through the end of the school year, with the possibility of continuing into the next school year and beyond.

Apply at legacyschoolauburn.com, or contact Greg Friesen at greg@legacyschoolauburn.com or 530-537-2401.

We're starting a church library, and we'd love your help building the collection. If you have books you'd like to donate, add your name to the sign-up sheet at the Information Desk or find Rebecca on Sunday.
