WE WILL BE SINGING CHRISTMAS HYMNS during
Communion in December (since the resurrection gifts of the day of our Lord in
the Sacrament of the Altar supersedes the penitential church seasons anyway)
and, since the Christmas season is so short that it is difficult to sing all
those great Christmas hymns in our hymnal, it has been decided that we will
offer Holy Communion every Sunday in December (which is an additional blessing
to have available to those who yearn for it). – Pastor
THE CHOIR IS SINGING HYMN 960 for
the gradual for Advent and the congregation will be reading the Psalm of the
Day instead of the Introit. The number for the Psalm will be listed in
your bulletin next to the service number (e.g. Divine Service 3 (page 184)
Psalm XX). Please turn to the appropriate Psalm at the front of your
hymnal and mark it with a ribbon. - Pastor

BAZAAR INCOME - We want to thank everyone again
who contributed in any way toward making our 55th annual bazaar a success. The
total income for this year was $5917.75.
THE PASTORS IN THE FREEMAN CIRCUIT AND OTHERS, led
by Pastor Peter Kurowski, are putting together a devotion book, Better Than
Twenty-Twenty Vision. Peter says of this resource, “The book strives to be
winsome, Christ-centered, Word and Sacrament-oriented, touching on hot button
issues, and providing "aha" moments of joy. It is a labor of
love and a didactic devotional book that will inspire, inform, and enlighten
the saints about the goodness and greatness of God in Christ. So many
people today, especially our young, are facing a world engulfed in nihilism. Better
Than Twenty-Twenty Vision offers high hope rooted in resurrection
realities.”
HELP US GET AN ACCURATE SETTING OF THE TABLE OF OUR LORD,
(not having too much or running short) by signing a registration sheet on the
visitor's shelf by the greeters when you come in. Please put the name of
the family and how many in that family will be communing for that day.
(e.g. Makelin/2) Thank you! Pastor
MISSION/MINISTRY OF THE MONTH: Operation Barnabus supports care for military

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE FEEDBACK ON THE CALLING SERVICE. The service was able to reach or 78% of the households either personally or by leaving a message, saving 3 and 1/2 hours of calling time. In addition, close to a dozen called or emailed that they did not get a call and numbers were changed accordingly. There are still some households we do not have good numbers for, but we will work on that. Please continue to call the office 605-925-7219 or email stpaulfreeman@gmail to add additional numbers or give correct numbers.
