Advent Service
We lead the Advent Worship service Wednesday, December 18 at 10 am and 7 pm.

Each child has an individual speaking part. It is very important that your child learns their speaking part. The speaking parts were put in your child's homework folder last week and should be learning the part loud and slow for memory work for next week.

At the 10 am service your child should just wear the school uniform and for the 7 pm service your child may wear church clothes or school uniform.

Helping the Philippines
Below is information regarding Lutheran churches helping our partner churches in the Philippines. They have sent out information again letting us know help is greatly needed!

Three congregations of the Lutheran Church in the Philippines (LCP), a partner church with The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, are in the area hardest hit by Typhoon Haiyan, which tore through the country Friday, Nov. 8 and is one of the strongest storms ever recorded. At least one of those congregations is reported to have significant damage.

More than 10,000 people are feared dead and thousands more have lost their homes in the wake of the typhoon — also known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Yolanda.
