Greening of the Sanctuary after Sunday Services!
Happy Thanksgiving weekend everyone! It's a time for tea, staying with family, for doubling up deals on Black Friday, and for taking a moment (and a breath) as we prepare to plunge into Christmas preparations. Come this Sunday to continue the festivities! It's Christ the King Sunday,
and oh what a King He is!
While we may get caught up in all the trappings of royalty, He steps out of the trap to grasp something better for us in this world! Come hear the pronouncement of Our King over you.
It is good news, that may just change your life!
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Pastor Grant

USHERS
We are looking for volunteers to join our usher team and serve as ushers for our Sunday morning worship services. It is not a difficult job - the ushers greet people as they go into the sanctuary; they hand out the bulletins; they help collect the offering; they count how many are in attendance; they help dismiss and direct people as they go forward for communion; they pick up the attendance sheets after worship; and keep a general eye on the congregation to make sure everyone is ok and give directions and/or answer questions if needed. Ushers can be male or female. Each usher team OF TWO ushers one regular Sunday of every month, with an occasional fifth Sunday of a month and/or special services during a holiday such as Easter and Christmas.
Please prayerfully consider sharing your time and talent in this way. If you have questions or are interested in joining an usher team, please contact Dave Haselbauer at 651-433-2281 or call the church office at 651-462-5212. Thank you!
