It’s coming….The Harvest Mission Festival will be held on Saturday, November 21st. The bazaar will run from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. A lunch of our famous pulled pork sandwiches, cole slaw, frog eye salad, pickles, beverage and pie will be served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (The cost for the full meal deal is $7.) We have ordered the lefse from Rushford. We are asking members of the congregation to bring baked goods and crafts for the bazaar. Remember all proceeds go to missions so you can help with donated items, buying items or eating the meal. If someone calls and asks you to work, please consider doing that. We look forward to seeing you all there. Let’s make this our most successful bazaar ever! There are lots of people who need our help.

Please join us for A Service of Thanksgiving and Praise, Monday, November 23 at 6:30 pm in the Grace Chapel. Our Thanksgiving Worship Service will give praise and thanks to God through word, song and sacrament. As we gather together as a faith community we will hear God’s word spoken and sung. We will share in the Lord’s Supper together. We will also share in fellowship following the service. Please bring a dessert, cookies, or bars to share after worship for a time of community fellowship in the Social Hall. God’s blessings be with you this Thanksgiving Holiday and always.

During the month of November, GWELCA will be collecting caps, gloves, scarves, mittens and anything else one might need to keep their hands and heads warm during a Minnesota winter. These items can be new or gently used and placed in the basket in the Gathering Space. The majority of these items will stay in the community going to schools, Neighborhood Center, and other places where they are needed. Let’s fill that basket to overflowing with these winter items.
