The women of Wayside will meet for a women’s dinner out at 6:30pm on November 13 at the Cheesecake Factory (2084 Hamilton Place Blvd., Chattanooga, 37421). If you’d like us to save you a seat at our table, please RSVP to Jodi Hiser.
It’s time for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes! This is an opportunity to help children in need around the world by preparing shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies (no food/ candy/gum, please!). The boxes to fill are here! They are in the copy/choir room. The boxes are due November 16.
During this season of transition and many dealing with personal challenges and trials, the Elders would like to call for a day of fasting and prayer on Thursday, November 20, to seek the Lord and His strength. We will provide a fasting guide beforehand and conclude that day with an abbreviated worship service at 7pm. Please be in prayer for our church family as we strive to grow in greater love and knowledge of our Savior!
Wayside Youth: we’re excited for our November Friday Night Fellowship on Friday, November 21 from 6–9pm at the Manse! This month, we’ll be having a Wayside Youth Thanksgiving — a time to enjoy great food, fellowship, and give thanks to the Lord for His goodness. The Kings will be providing smoked turkey, and we’d love for families of the youth to bring their favorite Thanksgiving sides to share. Please RSVP to Jonnie Jacobs by November 15 with your headcount and the side(s) you plan to bring.
Mark your calendars for this year's Christmas on the Mountain concert! Due to construction at the Mountain Opry, we will be holding one concert in our current sanctuary on Saturday, December 6 at 6:30pm. Doors will open at 6pm, and our regular overflow spaces will be available.
Signal Mountain Social Services (SMSS) has kicked off the 2025 mountain-wide Christmas Basket campaign which will provide gift baskets to over 65 needy mountain families on Saturday, December 13. The baskets include children’s gifts, gift cards, vouchers, home supplies, non-perishable food, and toiletries. Wayside’s assigned contribution will be 130 bars of soap (individually wrapped) and 65 jars of peanut butter. The collection will run from now until December 11th and a table will be set up outside the kitchen downstairs to store Wayside’s donated soap and peanut butter until delivery in December. Additional information regarding ways Wayside families can assist in the deliveries themselves will be available in coming weeks. For questions or information, please contact Marci Cooper.
