*The Essential Question Challenge - Have you ever asked yourself, “What difference am I making with my life?” On some level, we all struggle to find our own answer to that question as we search for meaning and significance in life. With that question in mind, we invite you to join us as we begin The Essential Question Challenge on January 10th, 2016. The Essential Question Challenge is a journey through the book of Acts that builds on the question the Apostle Paul asked, “What shall I do, Lord?” (Acts 22:10). This 10-week Bible reading experience will help you see that God has a mission for all of his people—whether it’s to serve him faithfully in the marketplace, in the home, in school, in the military or someplace else. There will be five readings each week and a Sunday morning sermon on the main idea of those readings. We will also have small group meetings throughout the week to discuss what we are learning as we read through Acts. Our prayer is that God will speak to each of us and help us discover how He is leading us to make a difference in our church, community and world. If you are interested in leading or co-leading a small group during this series, please contact Pastor Dan.
*Cross+Generational Bell Choir – The cross+generational bell choir will be playing again this coming Sunday and on Christmas Eve at the 4:30 p.m. service. Come and try it out – no experience needed!
*Lay Home Communion assistants - The Evangelism Team is looking for more people to help with Lay Home Communion. They would like to start doing this once a month. Contact Carol Solberg if interested.
*Poinsettias -Thank you to all of you who purchased poinsettias this year. You may pick them up after worship on December 27th.
*ELCA Good Gifts: Check out the ELCA Good Gifts catalogs that are in the Narthex. Shop the catalog for 50 different items that grow the church, fight hunger here and around the world and transform lives. Use this as a teaching and sharing moment in your family. These make great gifts!
*Pastor Dave’s New Address - Those who would like to send Christmas greetings to Pastor Dave and his family, his address is: Pastor Dave & Judith Jore, 2748 Kent St., Roseville, MN 55113.
Please keep in your prayers…
