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.”

BOXED CHRISTMAS CARDS will be sold the next couple Sundays during Coffee Hour on a cash and carry bases.  Limited selection and while supplies lasts only.

HIGHER THINGS REFLECTION ADVENT AND CHRISTMAS devotion booklet is printed and in the rack.

ANNUAL REPORTS are due again, please give to Denise, Aleta or Pastor.
