Pledges for 2026 Due Next Sunday
Please be praying about how you can sacrificially give to support the church for next year. There is a stewardship letter and a pledge card in your mail folder, if you haven’t picked them up yet. Please return them by December 21 so we can plan for the coming the year.
Poinsettias
Once again this year, we will be asking you to bring in your own poinsettias on Christmas Eve to decorate the church. If you plan to do that and would like a dedication in the bulletin, fill out the dark green form in the narthex. You may return it in the offering plate or to the office by Tuesday, December 16.
Christmas Food Baskets
We will delivering food baskets for Christmas to five families. There is a sign up sheet in the narthex. If you are unable to bring any of the food items, consider making a donation marked “Food Baskets.” Please bring your items to the church by Wednesday, December 17, and place the nonperishables on the metal shelves marked for them and the perishables in the refrigerator. Mark off the items on the master list. Thank you for your generosity.
Men’s and Women’s Bible Studies
Fr. Samuel has men’s and women’s Bible studies on alternate Fridays on the Gospel of John. The men meet at Casey’s at 12 pm on flex Fridays and the women meet in St. Andrew’s Room at 1 pm on non-flex Fridays. Notes for these studies may be found in the narthex the Sunday before. The next meeting is for the men on Friday, December 19.
