OPERATION OUTREACH: is a ministry in association with Pastor Dave Gunderson of St. John Lutheran – Yankton. He is now serving in Afghanistan. Part of this ministry is collecting children’s shoes. These can be new or used. St. Paul’s LWML is using this as a Christmas project and would like to invite the congregation to participate. There will be a box in the fellowship hall until Thanksgiving Day for shoe contributions at which time we will send them on to Camp Phoenix in care of Pastor Gunderson for distribution.
MAIN STREET LIVING:
November 28th 2010 Kid's Crossing prepares for Christmas with the story "The City That Forgot Christmas." Speaker information not available at this time.

year, please sign up in fellowship hall. There is a sheet posted on the bulletin

THE LADIES AID will be doing their annual matching funds Christmas project. It will again be for Main Street Living. There will be a “free will offering basket” in the fellowship hall from November 28th through December 19th. Your continued generosity is greatly appreciated.
SUNDAY SCHOOL: children will again be performing the Christmas Eve Service. Please provide your prompt response so parts can be divided out accordingly and a practice schedule can be set up.

Midweek Advent Worship Services will be offered this year at St. Paul. At 7:00 p.m. on Dec. 1st, 8th and 15th we will gather together for Advent services with the theme “The Genealogy of Jesus” in which we will see how this often over-looked subject is anything but boring or tedious. The three topics will be:
Dec. 1 : “Joseph: God Keeps His Promises”
Dec. 8 : “Rahab: God Makes Heroes Out of Zeroes”
Dec. 15 : “Joash: A Child With a Destiny”
Please join us in worship and fellowship with other members of Christ’s family of believers!
