Announcements
- Thank you to Jerri Hoekstra and Chris Kohler (again!) for serving the Fellowship Hour after church.
- Faith is “adopting” a family through Hope Coalition for Christmas again. This year it is a family of six. If you want to participate, take a tag off the Welcome Center window with the age of the person and what they need. Sign your name on the list of what tag you have. When you return the item wrapped, please check your name off that it’s delivered. We are asked to put the tag on the gift but not what’s in it. Thank you for having fun spreading Christmas joy!
- We are going to go Christmas Caroling at the Health Care Center Friday, Dec. 12th right after the 10am worship service by Pastor Knox. Please join us!
- Here is the link to the zoom pod-cast “Answers Withheld” by Rabbi Held that Pastor Knox referred to in his mass email last week. It’s available every 2nd Thursday of the month at 7:15pm. Interested? Let Pastor know! thttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/answers-withheld/id1731175248?i=1000725879055
- “ALL HANDS ON DECK” next Sunday, November 30th. Stay after church to help decorate our church for Christmas and also set up tables for the Cookie Walk. Thank you!
- There will be a “Pop-up” Choir for the Thanksgiving Eve worship service. Please join us! Practice will be the night before (Tuesday, Nov. 25th at 5pm before handbell practice.) Sign up in the Welcome Center so enough music is ordered. There are some copies in the office. Carol Prescher will be our accompanist. Thank you!
- A group of us will be practicing the “Chicago Folk Service” after church again today. It is a service we used 30 some years ago when Pr. Henriksen was here. Please consider staying, learning it and being comfortable singing it when we begin in January. We need a small group of cantors singing together to take the lead part. The melodies are easy to learn. We have 5 ladies but could use some men’s voices, too!
- November Foodshare item: Thanksgiving Meal ingredients. Pumpkin, evaporated milk, sugar, pie crust, stuffing, cranberries, jello, cream of mushroom soup and green beans! Anything that one would need to have a great meal! “Leave what you can, take what you need.”
- Our November Shepherd is Linda Brehmer. Please text or call her with congregational joys or concerns. 507-450-7524
