Announcements
- Thank you to our long time members Jim Nordstrom and Joni Lommen for serving our coffee today. They are happy to do many duties around here!
- We’re going to practice the Chicago Folk Service one last time after church today. Cantors, please come if you can and anyone else who would like to sing the “leader” part. We’ll start it the first Sunday every month starting this January.
- Today is the Handbell Choir Concert here at Faith at 2pm. There are other guest musicians, too, so plan to come for a delightful hour of Christmas music and stay for refreshments following!
- We need 2-3 people to help with BINGO at the Health Care Center this Wednesday, Dec. 17th at 2pm. The treats and $10 needed is provided by the church so you just need to bring that and help residents play. Let Julie know you’re interested. Thank you! It’s only for an hour or so and we need you!
- The Sunday School Christmas program “Behold the Stars” written by Liesl Knox will be next week during worship. We can’t wait!
- The Ecumenical Blue Christmas Worship Service will be at United Church of Christ next Sunday, December 21st at 6pm. This is especially meaningful if you find yourself alone or grieving a lost family member or friend.
