Let Us Pray (from The Treasury of Daily Prayer)
The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein . . . . -- (Psalm 24:1)
Almighty and ever-living God, You have given exceedingly great and precious promises to those who trust in You. Dispel from us the works of darkness and grant us to live in the light of Your Son, Jesus Christ, that our faith may never be found wanting; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

What Lutherans Believe
If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about our Christian confession within the Lutheran tradition or just reviewing the basics of belief, plan to join Pastor Biermann Sunday evenings in December and January. We will use Luther’s Small Catechism as a springboard into thinking about and discussing the core doctrines of our faith. While this class serves as preparation for becoming a member at Village, it will also be a great time of fellowship and learning for lifelong members. The class will meet at church starting Sunday, December 5th at 6:30. Come and bring a friend or two.

Altar Guild Volunteers Needed
Thank you! to all who have volunteered to help with the Altar Guild. There is still need for one more volunteer for Holy Communion setup and cleanup. One to two people can set the altar on Saturdays or early Sunday mornings, and another person or couple is needed to clean up after Sunday’s late services. The volunteer schedule rotates monthly, and training is available. Volunteers are also needed for other services (Christmas, Holy Week, Easter, etc.) throughout the church year.
If you are interested in serving on the Altar Guild, please contact Marilyn Daughhetee (marilyn5162@att.net) or the church office (314-993-1834).

Stewardship Thought
Hebrews 10:14 – “For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.” Our Lord Jesus has provided the one offering for sin. What we offer to the Lord is not a sacrifice for sin; we cannot buy our way into heaven with our money, works, or effort. Rather, what we give to the Lord’s work in the Church is a thank offering, a sign of our dependency on God and all He has given us.

Witness & Outreach Thought
Mark 13:1-13: Jesus encouraged His disciples to pay attention to the signs of the times because they are indicators of the end of time in this world and the beginning of our eternity with God in the new heaven and new earth that He is preparing for us. Each day we come closer to the end of this world. This fact should provide encouragement for us to be prepared for our Lord’s return and be ready to share the hope that is within us and to do it with gentleness and respect (1Peter3:15).
