Announcements December 3
Practices for this year’s Christmas Pageant will be held on December 2 and 9 at 9:30am. The program will be on December 10 at 5:00pm followed by our annual covered dish Christmas dinner.
Lunch for the Grieving: The final lunch will be held on December 13. Anyone may attend whether the loss is recent or in the distant past. If you have experienced a loss and have learned to live a “new normal,” your experience can help newly grieved persons.
Permanent office hours will be Monday-Wednesday 10am-2pm.
The Annual Congregational Meeting will be held today immediately following the worship service. Please make every effort to attend.
Noisy offering throughout the months of November and December will benefit ELCA Good Gifts. There are envelopes in the narthex which may be used to designate the purchase of a specific animal with your gift. The large can we use for Noisy Offering is serving as a collection can for the envelopes.
