SONS OF GOD MEN’S GROUP

A group event for men, from the youngest to the oldest, meets again this week, November 19, 6:30pm at the Wonewoc Campus. Plans are to meet every other week, so check the calendar in the bulletin. This will be a time for fellowship, brotherly encouragement, and digging into Scripture together as we serve and support one another to live out our calling as Sons of God. Talk to Pastor or any of the Elders for more information.

CANTATA PRACTICE

Anyone who is interested in singing for the cantata on Christmas Eve should meet at 6:30pm on Sundays at the Wonewoc Campus. The practices will run about 90 minutes and then Senior Choir practice will practice at 8:00pm.  No Monday practices for Senior Choir.

ADVENT BY CANDLELIGHT

Advent by Candlelight is scheduled for Sunday, December 7, in the Wonewoc Campus church basement. Advent by Candlelight is a beautiful, quiet, reflective event just for women to focus their hearts on the birth of the Savior who brings us salvation and peace before the busy Christmas season. There will be a luncheon and program beginning at 12:00pm. This event is for all ladies of any age.  There are sign-up sheets in back if you are interested or contact Jan Fick or Jessica Limpert for more information. We would like to have a rough idea of those interested in attending or hosting by November 23.

If anyone is interested in having a poinsettia on the altar in memory of a loved one for Christmas, order forms from Blossoms and Bouquets are in the back of the church.  Order by November 27 for discounted savings. Please make checks out to Blossoms and Bouquets and place them in the friendship sheet box in the back of church along with the order form.
