† LFCS SEASON OF SHARING The tree in the narthex has ornaments provided by the Joplin area Lutheran Family and Children’s Services. These ornaments are for a specific child. If you would like to sponsor that specific child, please take the ornament and it will have their age, size, and interests. Then purchase gifts for that child for up to $75 total. It might be helpful for two or three families to share an ornament. The unwrapped items need to be back under the tree by Sunday, December 7.
† SUNDAY SCHOOL PROGRAM This year’s Christmas program will be held the evening of Sunday, December 14. We will start practicing during the Sunday School hour on November 23. If you would like your children to participate please let us know as soon as possible. You can do this by letting your child’s Sunday School teacher know or by contacting Kayla H.
