CHRISTMAS POINSETTIA ORDER FORMS
If you would like to help decorate our sanctuary for the Christmas Eve services, you can either order a poinsettia from the flower shop, or you can bring in your own. There is a form to fill out for either option. You can find these forms by the bulletins on a Sunday morning or at the office during the week.

A NOTE FROM THE OFFICE
In keeping with tradition, the office will be closed between Christmas and New Year’s.
A few notes for the end of the year:
2026 giving envelopes should be available by Christmas Eve and will be set in the lower narthex.
Also, our counters will meet for the last time this year on Monday, December 29. If you are doing any end-of-the-year giving, please consider getting it to the church before that date so we can include it in our 2025 giving statements. Any donations received after this date will be counted towards your 2026 giving. Thank you!
Last, thank you so much for all of your kind words, visits, patience, and helping hands this year! I pray God’s blessings on you and your families this Christmas!
Rachel Knueppel

ANNUAL REPORT
Our Annual Meeting is usually held on the last Sunday in January and we aim to get our Annual Report out at least a week ahead so everyone can take home a report to read before the meeting.
For this upcoming Annual Meeting, I would like to welcome all groups in the church (not just the Teams) to submit something for the Annual Report. All reports are due by SUNDAY, JANUARY 4, 2026. Please contact the office if you have any questions.
