NO WEEKDAY SCHOOL OR CONFRIMATION on Wednesday.
IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week, we pray for Phyllis Knittel, Lonnie Graber and Richard Salis as they recover at home; for Roman Miller as he receives medical treatments; for Darlene Schrag and Jerry Saner during their time of diagnosis and treatment as well as for our shut-in members, our inactive members and for at least two people in your life who don’t know Christ.
HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH: The next meeting will be January 2nd at the parsonage. Pastor Borglum and Susan will be providing supper.
JANUARY 2nd at 3:00 p.m. the church decorations will be coming down. If you are able to come and help it would be greatly appreciated.
THE JANUARY 6th LADIES AID meeting will include the election of a President and Treasurer. Nominated for President – Joan Dreessen and Sharon Pfeiffer. Nominated for Treasurer – Phyllis Knittel and Mildred Siekmann
CHRISTMAS CHEER: This past week the Ladies Aid Visiting Committee delivered “Christmas Cheer” in the form of a personal visit, a Christmas card, and a bud vase containing a red carnation & evergreens to the following church members: Leanne Albrecht, Clara Baer, Erna Bittner, Alice Fliginger, Bernice Graber, Lonnie Graber, Leone Haar, Mabel Haar, Verna Herrboldt, Lavonne Knittel, Phyllis Knittel, Delphine Laber, Lorna Langle, Roman Miller, Mahala Peterson, Lucille Rembold, Blaine Saarie, Richard Salis, Helen Schamber, Max Schamber, Olinda Stark, Pauline Walz, and Lorraine Wipf. A Christmas card was sent to Altha Mayer in Yankton.
If anyone has bud vases they no longer need please bring them to the church kitchen and mark them for the visiting committee, we will start saving vases for our next year deliveries. Thank you very much.
OFFERING ENVELOPES will be handed out before and after church services for the next couple of weeks. Please pick your envelope box up in fellowship hall. All envelopes for "Special Services" such as Christmas, Lenten Offerings, Maundy Thursday, etc. are designated as a Mission contribution.
MAIN STREET LIVING has been an integral part of our District’s ministry in South Dakota for the last 9 years but its future has become uncertain. The treasurer has advised the District that they do not have enough money to pay for any programming after Dec. 31st. They realize that everyone’s personal budget is tight and that some congregations are struggling as well. If it is within your means to do so, MSL is asking for whatever additional support you can provide – both financially as well as your prayers for their financial stability; even sending them $1 will help. It would truly be unfortunate for the programming to be discontinued. If you can assist them, you may either put your donation in the offering plate with a note attached designating the money for MSL, or you may send your donation directly to them at: Main Street Living, 1400 S Duluth Ave., Sioux Falls, SD 57105. Thank you in advance for your help!
JANUARY 2, 2011 Kid's Crossing
The featured speaker is Rev. Joshua Jones from Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Rapid City, SD. The sermon theme is "Are You 'In' or 'Out'" The hymns are All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name; Angels We Have Heard on High; and What Child is This. The Main Street Living choir will provide the hymns. The program is interpreted for the hearing impaired.
PLEASE LET US KNOW if you or another of our members is sick, hospitalized, has a new baby, has a death in the family, etc. This will enable us (pastor, elders and others) to visit them, send a note of encouragement and to keep the person and his or her family in our prayers.
