Angel tree gifts. All 94 angels at our sister congregation, San Gabriel Lutheran Church, have been adopted by our members—thank you! Please bring your wrapped Angel Tree gifts to church by this Sunday, December 13 (be sure the angel tag is firmly attached). The gifts will be delivered the following Saturday, December 19, at 3:30 (volunteers needed). If you need gift ideas please check the list on our website.
Chip Sakakeeny and five of our students enjoyed the Briarwood Advent Retreat last weekend. They had a lot of fun, made new friends, constructed wreaths, enjoyed s'mores and reflected on the season of Advent.
Advent worship. Please join us each Wednesday during Advent for a thirty-minute evening worship service at 7:00 p.m. The setting will be Holden Evening Prayer. Come worship and invite a friend.
Christmas cards. Thanks to our elementary students who made Christmas cards for members away at college. The "study hard" wishes and Starbucks gift cards were met with enthusiastic thank yous! Thanks to the Member Care Committee for taking such good care of our college students.
