Items could include but are limited only by your imagination:
handmade crafts anything from hand sewn to woodworking treasures; gift cards from local retailers including restaurants;
locally produced items; just about anything that is Aggie-related, especially if signed by an Aggie athlete; and homemade food such as desserts, candy, bread, or other goodies.
These items will make great Christmas gifts, so please plan to shop, too! The proceeds from this years Silent Auction will help fund mission trips and retreats.

TRADITIONS

OSLC Christmas Card

Posted in the Narthex

For many years now, the members of OSLC have been graciously donating the funds that they would have used to send Christmas cards locally to family and friends (cards and postage) to the W/ELCA Christmas Card Fund. W/ELCA in turn donates the funds to local charities. If you would like to participate, simply put your donation in the box provided by the giant Christmas Card hanging on the wall in the Narthex and be sure and sign the card!

Christmas Salad Luncheon

December 8 at 11:30am

This annual event is a great way to kick off the holiday season! All women of the church are invited and encouraged to attend. Bring your favorite salad to share, or just come and eat and enjoy the wonderful fellowship. We will be treated to a medley of Christmas Carols played by Tom Rosedahl and Bob Leslie on bagpipe. Hosted by Ruth Circle.
