Happy Thanksgiving + Dearest Advent Wishes + Merry Christmas + Blessings in the New Year!

11/16/2021

 
What a wonderful time of the year. From Thanksgiving, to Advent, to Christmas to New Years, there is so much to celebrate during these five plus weeks. Which one is your favorite?
In preparation of Christmas Eve Worship, Poinsettia sales started last week and will go through Thanksgiving Eve. Along with making the sanctuary look beautiful proceeds along with any direct donations go to Loaves & Fishes.  
Thanksgiving Eve Worship on Wednesday, November 24 is a time we all come together with the St. Luke's Choir and Jubilee Praise Team helping lead worship, along with a Wednesday Night family having their three daughters baptized. Following worship,all are invited to our Congregational Dessert Celebration. If you’re willing and able, consider bringing a dessert to share.  
In honor of Thanksgiving, make plans to help at Feed My Staving Children packing event on Saturday, November 27 from 11:30 AM – 1 PM. St. Luke’s has reserved 25 spots. There are 17 open spots. To sign up contact Craig Brandt directly at craigbrandt_9@msn.com  
The first Sunday of Advent is November 28. Members are invited to help light the way to Christmas as we share the Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love of Jesus. There are eleven opportunities – two each Sunday of Advent (8:30 and 10 AM) and three on Christmas Eve (2, 4, and 10 PM). If interested please contact the church office. Currently two spots are filled. Prayerfully consider participating. It involves a short reading and lighting a candle, which can be done by an individual, friends, or a family. 
Last, but not least, it is never too soon to consider your New Year’s Resolution. Consider to choose reading through the Gospel of John. We will begin on Sunday, January 2 and go through Sunday, May 22. That’s 140 days to read 879 verses; that’s equates to a little over 6 verses a day, a message for eternity. We will be inviting people to sign up for small groups, choosing to meet weekly or monthly; both in person and online.
We close as we opened – Happy Thanksgiving, Dearest Advent Wishes, Merry Christmas, and Blessings to you and yours in the New Year!
