Announcements

Women’s Advent Evening – is on Sunday, December 7th. Tables will be decorated for Christmas. There will be a variety of desserts and coffee. The Bell Choir will present some special music. Sign up on the Bulletin Board in the Narthex.

Visiting for Christmas - There is a sign up sheet on the bulletin board to bring a poinsettia and visit some of our shut-ins or people who don’t get out so much, to spread the love of Christmas with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

WOW Christmas Program – will be on Wednesday, December 17th. Come for the WOW meal at 5:45 pm – 6:15 pm. Then help our children celebrate Christmas by attending their Christmas Program. The program will begin at 7:00 pm.

Christmas Worship services – We will celebrate Christmas with a Candlelight and Carol service at 6:00 pm at St. Paul on Christmas Eve. Pastor Randy will lead a similar Candlelight and Carol Service at Zion Lutheran in Oelwein, beginning at 8:00 pm, if that fits your family schedule a little better. We will also have a worship service on Christmas Day, beginning at 10:00 am. It will be a joyful season.
