We're updating our records, and asking members and guests to include their email address when signing the welcome pads. You only need to sign it once, during the month of December.
Adult Forum will continue Handel's Messiah, Dec. 14 and 21. A hallmark of the Christmas season, this study will focus on the portions of the oratorio appropriate for Advent. Please come and expect your faith to be enriched! Meet in the Fellowship Hall at 9:45 a.m.
Join us at the Christmas Music Festival, Sunday, December 14, at 4 pm. The theme is "Cradled with Many Voices" and will feature musical styles used throughout history. Please bring a plate of cookies to share at the reception following the festival.
Luther Park Camping and Retreat Center, where many of our children have attended in the summers, and whose counselors have led our VBS, is appealing to its member churches to help keep it operational. The offerings for today's Christmas Festival will go to help support Luther Park. We also welcome any gifts you could give today or by year's end. Make checks payable to Peace Lutheran, and designate them "Luther Park Camp."
The newsletter deadline for the January Peace Notes is Monday, December 15.
There will be no rehearsal for the Hallelujah Chorus or Cherub Choir on Weds., December 17.
Join us at the Sunday School Christmas Program, Sunday, December 21, at 10:45 a.m. Our youngest members at Peace inspire us with story and song as we celebrate the birth of Christ. Please note the rehearsal time on Saturday, December 20, at 10 am, for age three - 7th grade.
Peace will be hosting Families Moving Forward homeless families the week of January 4, 2009. Please sign up to help set up, take down bedrooms, host for an evening or overnight. Other opportunities are available on the sign up sheets in the narthex. Contact Jan Mostrom.
Sign up in the narthex today for the Bible study, "Into the World: The Acts of the Apostles." This 14 session study will be offered on Tuesdays from 6:30 to 7:45 a.m. and Friday from 9 to 10:30 a.m. The cost for this study is $20, and begins January 13 and 16, 2009. Grow in your understanding of the church and its relevance today by participating in this insightful Bible study!
"Let the little children come unto me." Help our littlest Sunday School children learn about Jesus-team teach every other week during January through the second week in May. Please see Carol Forsberg if you are interested.
Please consider a wonderful volunteer opportunity. Marian Olson is stepping down as the Peace coordinator for the Meals on Wheels program, so we need to fill her shoes. The December Peace Notes has the details, or talk to Deb Weir, Pam Jette, or Carolyn Stark.
Looking to share your talents at Peace? Join the Evangelism committee. Contact Jim Broge.
December Need-Of-The-Month This month we are collecting items Midge Shaw will bring to the Dominican Republic on her mission trip in January. The list of items can be found in the December issue of Peace Notes, and also by the Dominican display in the narthex.
Please help keep our plants alive! Needed: Plant Waterers. We are now setting up the 2009 schedule to water the indoor church plants. We would like 6-8 volunteers who will rotate on a weekly basis. The watering takes about 15 minutes. Sign-up on the Volunteer bulletin board or talk to Nancy Broge. If we have eight volunteers, you would water six times a year. |
