Ministry Opportunities
2nd Annual - Project Feed Families

Sunday is your last day to donate funds to help the families in the Centennial school district.

We need your help!
You can donate funds via our giving page or by dropping off a cash/check at church with Project Feeding families in the memo line. Donations are due by December 19th.
Gas and Food Cards
If you are interested in donating food or gas cards, please drop them off in the office. Amounts should stay between $10-$20 and we are in need of gas cards more than Target or Cub right now. Thank you!

Mitten Tree
This next week is your last opportunity to drop off mittens/hats/scarves for the mitten tree. We will be delivering to Centennial Schools and to the Alexander House next week.
December's It's the Little Things Experiment
are ready for pick up!
For our last month of our experiments, we are inviting you to take some time to reflect on what you can offer to Jesus. Write down gift or talent you would like to offer to God. And place it inside the small box that’s provided. Place it somewhere in your home that is visible to serve as a reminder of how you can bless others with your gift. You can pick up this month’s envelope in the narthex, along with all the other months -if you missed any.
If you haven't picked up the last few months of experiments, they are available at church
This week we are praying for:

-Kathy and Bill Christensen's as they grieve the death of Bob.
-Becky and family as they grieve the death of Dick.
-Karen Gregory's sister, Susan
-Mark, Swede's brother
-Kent Barnard's dad, Richard
-Robbin Sonnenberg, in her new diagnosis of colon cancer and perforated bowel.
-Lisa Hutchinson's sister-in-law, Susan Bushey (and family) who is starting cancer treatment.
-Yvonne Guptill
-Sherry, Kathie Wilkinson's sister
-Verna Wood
-Joanne Hanson's sister, Wendy Brown who is going through chemo treatments.

Worship Volunteers

The new schedule for greeters, ushers, lectors, prayers and communion assistants is now out for the first four months of 2022. You can find a copy of it here.


We are still in need of some volunteers to be Worship Hosts (someone, besides Pastor Mollie or Jenny, that makes sure all of our greeters, ushers, lectors, and reader of the prayers are in worship that morning). If you're interested, sign up here. Thanks!
