Stewardship Sunday is November 23rd. We hope to be completing our time and talent sheets, as well as our estimates of financial giving for 2026. We will offer them to God during worship. The estimates of giving will be opened and seen only by our financial
secretary. Whether you are able to pledge a lot, a little, or somewhere in-between, every financial pledge counts for keeping the ministry of your church going. There are also a number of ministries to donate time and talents to, including the following: assisting in worship, teaching Sunday School, serving on a ministry team or church council, operating the sound system and YouTube for Sunday Worship, singing in the choir, quilting, packing weekend nutrition bags for school kids, volunteering at our Cold Weather Shelter for homeless folks, cooking for and preparing church events (memorials, potlucks, etc.) and the care and keeping of the church grounds and building. Remember that God loves a cheerful giver and we do grow in faith and love as we give first to God in our lives. There will be a basket for collecting the completed forms, or drop yours in the offering plate, mail it in or swing it by the church office.
Also on Sunday, November 23rd is the Bread for the World Bake Sale. In past years our total funds raised have been matched by travel show host Rick Steves, and we hope this year will be no different. Please mark your calendar today, and plan your enticements for this year! Our table will be loaded – folks can shop after the church service during coffee hour.
Taize Worship Service next Sunday, 5pm, November 30th at Grace Episcopal Church. This is a short prayer service of sung refrains, prayer, scripture and silence, followed by a simple soup-n-bread supper after.
Donations for Poinsettias can be made to the office—$20 per poinsettia. Consider making a donation in honor or memory of a loved one, which will be posted in this year’s Christmas Eve bulletin.
Worship on Wednesdays are being held on the first Wednesday of the month at 8:00am. There will be a service next Wednesday, December 3rd. If you are interested in a brief mid-week service of worship, prayer and communion, please feel free to join!
The Sanctuary is Now Open for Prayer during the week! On Mondays through Thursdays, 9am to noon (during office hours) the sanctuary will be open to anyone who needs space to stop by and pray. Please see Laurae Lygre if you would like to volunteer to monitor the sanctuary and provide assistance during one of the prayer hours.
Confirmation and Youth Group will be taking a break on Wednesday the 26th in observance of Thanksgiving. Youth Group will resume on December 3rd, and Confirmation Class will remain on break until Jan. 7th, but students are welcome to join the Youth Group for Wednesday night activities.
Choir Rehearsals at 6:30pm on Thursdays in the Sanctuary. No rehearsal on November 27th; happy Thanksgiving!
Share your smile! The First Lutheran Family bulletin board is great for helping us learn each other’s names but it is missing a few friendly faces. Also, some of the pictures are a little dated! We’re happy to snap your picture after church, or you can send one you like to FLCEburg@yahoo.com . Pictures are cropped to 4 ½”W x 4”H, with a label added over the bottom inch.
Please Check the Old Photo Envelope in the fellowship hall by the kitchen door. We have some older pictures that will be thrown out soon, so please take a look at them to see if there is one or two you may want! From now on, this envelope will be where we place unclaimed photos and old cards before they’re thrown out.
Stickers Wanted! Donations of small, fun, possibly textured stickers are wanted for the Sunday School class!
