About the Cover: Behold We were once under the oppressive darkness of our sin, lost and unable to free ourselves. Yet God in His mercy sent Christ, who entered into the darkness of the cross and brought it into the contrast of His marvelous light. This light simply has used the cross to show us the depths to which He will go for us. In His kingdom, we can see clearly who our Lord is, our merciful Savior.

WELCOME VISITORS - We are honored to have you worship with us today! Please wear a mask if you wish. RESTROOMS are off the lounge to the right (south side) of the main entrance. When leaving the pews, they will be on your left. The tower stairs (to your right while leaving the pews) lead down to the basement where there are another pair of restrooms. Feel free to use the LOUNGE if you or your children need a break. Since the Sacrament of Communion is administered to those instructed and examined in the Faith as Confessional Lutherans understand it, you will receive a verbal blessing unless you speak with Pastor beforehand. Families with young children are always welcome to worship with us. Feel free to take a quiet bag with coloring pages and crayons to your seat, found hanging in the coat closet.
Christmas Cookie Sale hosted by the Youth Group is scheduled for December 11th! Please use the sign-up sheet in the narthex to donate 1 or more dozen homemade Christmas cookies or holiday treats. Donations can be dropped off on Saturday Dec 10 from 1-4p or Sunday morning by 9am. The sale of the Christmas cookies will take place after worship, at about 10:15am. You can hand-pick your dozen cookies for $6 or place an order for pick-up. Pre-orders will be accepted until December 4th and can be picked up on Dec 10th or 11th. See Katie Bauer with any questions.
Advent By Candlelight is scheduled for Saturday, December 3rd at 4p in the school gym. All adults are welcome to participate in this celebration and preparation of the coming of Christ.
