Christmas Is a Time of Appreciation and Generosity
Christmas is also a time to show appreciation to our church staff (Pastor, Liz, Chris, Jessica, Darlene, Rita).  If you would like to make a donation towards their gift, a Christmas box is in the Narthex. Checks should indicate on the memo line"staff gifts".
All donations must be received by December 19th.

Men's Winter Parkas Needed
Every year some Day Services clients are woefully unprepared for the cold weather. Please check your closets for extra men's parkas that could be passed on to a needy client. 
 Warm boots, hats, socks and gloves are also needed. The hand warmer packets are also very popular. Our storage space is limited so please no dress clothes. Thank you for supporting Day Services!

Card Ministry Team
The Card Ministry Team is in need of new members. This quiet ministry sends condolence, get well, sympathy and special congratulations to LOTM members and friends. Each member serves one month a year.  Note cards, postage stamps and guidelines are kept in the Volunteer Room. Recipient names come from the prayer chain list or the Sunday bulletin list. Please let Doris Koneman know if you are ready to release your inner poet. dkoneman@comcast.net or 970-453-2685.

Who likes surprises?
Watch for a little LOTM surprise in a December Field Guide.

Gratitude

For The LOTM Bell  Choir, under the direction of Christy Reinking, for a lovely performance at the Community Holiday Sing.  We are so grateful for the time and talent you share.
