The Human Care Board wishes to express their appreciation for all members of the congregation who supported the HOPE Gift Market. Your generosity shares the love of Jesus in so many wonderful ways! If you were unable to attend the Market and would like to contribute, there are forms on the table in the narthex. Simply fill one out, attach your check, and place in the Human Care mailbox in the west coat room. Cut off for contributing to the Market is TODAY – November 29th. God’s blessings to all of you, St. Paul Human Care Board
TODAY we will “Decorate for Christmas” at 1:30 pm or whenever you can come and join in the fun. This is a special time of the year for all of us and what a great way to start out the season to take time to help prepare our hearts and the church area. The more that help, means more fun and less work than just a few can do. See the sign-up sheet on the bulletin board.
The 2016 offering envelopes are ready for you to pick up in the hallway. Let’s see how fast we can get them distributed.
We still have some St. Paul Logo jackets available in limited sizes. If you are interested talk to Ron Coy. They are still $10.
It’s Soup and Sweets! Wednesday, Dec. 2nd, is our annual SOUP & SWEETS supper at 6:00 p.m. with Advent service following at 7:00 p.m. Please sign up today to help out and to bring soup or sweets, etc. Have food in the kitchen by 5:45 p.m. Thank you.
The Human Care Board is collecting warm hats and gloves, as well as socks, for needy men, women, and children. You may place your donations in the labeled bin in the east coat area. Thank you!
We’re Making a Joyful Noise….the Bible speaks of choirs of angels and heavenly hosts caroling, proclaiming God’s kingdom and the Bible also says “make a joyful noise”. On December 12th, “Those joyful noise makers”, the St. Paul Conversational Dinner participants, want to come and sing carols to you. If you would like us to stop by your home or apartment, please contact the St. Paul Office or Ellen Sander (292-3574 or druellen@hotmail.com). We’ll sing to you soon!
Do you have a passion for wellness? If so, we need your help. Our health insurance provider has asked LCMS participating employers to appoint a “wellness champion”. If you have any interest or questions, please contact Drue Sander (292-3574) for more information. Beside the benefits of better health and wellness to individuals, participation in this program will also allow us to help control our health insurance cost in the years ahead. Thanks for your consideration.
Order your Poinsettia today! Place the completed form and your check for $9.00 in the office mailbox.
