Would you like to bring blessings to a child and their family this Christmas and sponsor a child through our Angel Tree Sponsorship program? We need your help with sponsoring 295 children. This year we sponsor children from Barnabas Community, St. Monica’s home for women leaving homelessness and Prison Fellowship.

We are in need of volunteers to deliver Angel Tree gifts to homes in Lincoln on the evening of Wednesday, December 15. Sign up online if you are interested.

Join us for a special Thanksgiving worship and give thanks to God! Stay for pie and coffee after worship and support our various Habitat for Humanity partners. Your donation helps to pay for building supplies that provide decent and affordable housing.

During November we are collecting cold weather gear for our ministry partners. Place the following in the donation bins in the Great Hall:

Thanks to everyone who donated and packed items for school, personal and baby care kits for Lutheran World Relief. We sent 193 school kits, 41 baby care kits, 72 personal care kits and 148 quilts. These items will go to people in need around the world.

We continue our tradition of Magnificent Gifts financial gift giving. This year we support Barnabas Community. Devotional guides for the season of Advent, based on our Magnificent Gifts tradition, will be available for pickup beginning November 27.
