- Thank you to Bill & LaDonna Jewson for serving our coffee today after our Sunday School program today. It is always a good time visiting with your pew partners after church. Thanks, too, to Bill for fixing the fellowship hall door last week!
- Thank you to our children for providing a fun way to worship this morning! And to Kristi Kropp and Liesl Knox for their music instructions and Naomi Knox for being the steadfast teacher and Sarah Niemeyer, the council liaison who keeps it all together! Make sure to thank all four ladies for their time and work and love. They’re the best!
- Thank you to Marguerite Iverson and Sandy Larson for playing BINGO with the nursing home residents last Wednesday. You are appreciated!
- The Star of Hope program is so very appreciative of us letting them use our building to do their Santa’s elf work. They served 253 local families this year! We are proud to help.
- The Ecumenical Blue Christmas Worship Service will be at United Church of Christ tonight at 6pm. This is especially meaningful if you find yourself alone or grieving a lost family member or friend.
- Our December Shepherd is Toni Burns. Please text or call her with congregational joys or concerns. 507-259-9136
- The Food Share item for December is baking ingredients. Flour, sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla, salt and cookie decorations like colored sugar sprinkles.
