Announcements
VOTERS' MEETING TODAY AFTER CHURCH With this in mind now is a good time for members of the congregation to propose, nominate or suggest names of potential Senior Pastor candidates to the Board of Elders. These names along with additional names received from the Northern Illinois District will be the pool of candidates that will be considered in the search. Likely this will be a lengthy process. Please pray for the Elder Board and for our congregation as a whole as we navigate our way through this process.
Look for the list of Elders names on the sign-up board in the Narthex.
You are invited to a missionary presentation and potluck at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Union by Deaconess Cheryl Naumann on Thursday, December 13, 10:00am- Deaconess Cheryl will share about their work in Latin America, Rev. Dr. Jonathan and Deaconess Cheryl Naumann serve the Lord through The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) as missionaries based in the Dominican Republic. You will learn
1) about the Dominican Republic,
2) Why we need missionaries in the DR and Latin America,
3) What the LCMS is doing in the Dominican Republic, and
4) the specific work done by Pastor Naumann and Deaconess Cheryl in the region. Bring a dish to share for the potluck.
YOU ARE INVITED TO JOIN THE CHOIR to sing for the Christmas season. Rehearsals are Wednesday evening after midweek service.
HANDBELL CHOIR PRACTICE December 9th, 16th, & 23rd after service.
SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS AND SUBSTITUES NEEDED We are in need of teachers and substitutes for Sunday School. Please speak with Pastor Metzger or Patti Schoo in you are interested.
Fellowship Update 12-9-18 With the treats being purchased (at about a cost of $1 each or $45-$60 in total) and (so far based on a couple of Sundays), the donations almost equaling the costs. The doughnuts are picked up by other members and delivered to church. This only leaves any coffee set-up volunteers to make coffee and set out pitchers of water and cups, with all supplies being stocked in the little front hall kitchen. The time commitment is about 30 minutes to set-up and make coffee and about 15 minutes to clean up after the fellowship time. This is one way to meet fellow members. This an easy way to add to the friendly atmosphere and welcoming and engaging feel of the church. Please sign-up for coffee fellowship on the list placed across from the display case. If you have any questions before signing-up to help with coffee, please call Phil Johnson at 815-899-0661 and leave a message, I will call you back.
2019 GIVING ENVELOPES are available in the Narthex. Please do not use the 2019 envelopes until January!
