Our Sharing Tree is up! Here’s how it works: Take a tag from the tree, purchase the gift/s listed on the tag, and then bring the gift AND the tag back to the church by the designated time.
There’s also a “No Shop” option: Take any tag from the tree and return it to the church office with case or a check donation to cover the cost, and someone will purchase items and deliver them for you.
Please return all items by SUNDAY, DECEMBER 17. Make sure the Sharing Tree gift tag is visibly attached to the gift, whether the gift is wrapped or not. All gift cards should be taken to the church office along with the tag from the Sharing Tree.
This year’s gift recipients include:
Josephine Caring Ministries
El Camino de Emaus Lutheran Church families
The WI-Cares-sponsored Ukrainian family
Holiday House teen gifts
Thank you for sharing!

Join us this Advent season for our adult Bible study on Sunday mornings and midweek Advent services on Wednesdays as we “Shake the Branches of Jesus’ Family Tree.” Through Bible study on Sundays and dramatic presentations on Wednesdays we will learn more about what the genealogy of Jesus tells us about who he is and why he came, and what it means for us who have been grafted into this same family through faith.
Our midweek services will include a midday liturgy at Noon and Holden Evening Prayer at the 6:00PM service. Soup suppers will follow.
Sunday Morning Adult Bible Study:
9:15AM in the church library
December 3: Unlikely Great-Grandmas: Tamar & Rahab
