Dr. Russell Kleckley is leading a review of the Old Testament during Bible study following breakfast.

Noisy Offering
The noisy offering collected today will be donated to the Families Helping Families holiday assistance program, which is a partnership between the non-profit Palmetto Project and WIS-News 10. Cash contributions ensure that all applicant families receive gifts.

Christmas Program and Dinner
The annual Christmas program and covered dish dinner will be held this evening at 5 P.M. Please bring your favorite covered dish to share at the dinner following the program.

Poinsettias
If you would like to donate poinsettias for Christmas, please bring them in by December 22, the Fourth Sunday in Advent. Please leave a note with your flowers with the dedication and your name so we can print that in the Christmas Eve worship folder.

Prayer List
The prayer list will be refreshed on January 1. Please send an email to the church email at office@stjohnsirmo.org or place a note in the offering plate to keep someone on the list beginning January 1 or to add someone else. Also include an address for the person you are asking us to pray for so we can send them a card letting them know we are praying for them.
