Announcements December 10
Please join us for our Christmas Pageant today at 5:00pm followed by our annual covered dish Christmas dinner.
The December Council Meeting will be held immediately following the worship service today. New members who were elected at the Annual Meeting are invited to attend.
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.
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. There is a silver bucket on the back pew where the envelopes may be submitted, or they may be placed in the offering plate. Put your name on the envelope if you would like the donation recorded.
If you would like to donate one or more poinsettias to decorate the chancel, please bring them to the church by next Sunday, December 17. They may be picked up after the Christmas Eve service or the following Sunday.
Join us on Wednesday mornings for Bible Study at 10:30, either in person or on Zoom.
