THE ANNUAL MEETING is scheduled for January 25, 2026 after the service, approximately 10:30 a.m. with a meal to follow. 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, we 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 11, 2026. Please contact the office if you have any questions.

SACRAMENT OF HOLY BAPTISM was celebrated on Sunday, December 14, 2025 for Layton Jay Woodke. His parents are Logan & Ashlie Woodke. His sponsors are Eric Woodke and Tiffany Kast. May God bless Layton, his parents, and sponsors as we welcome him into the family of God.

SACRAMENT OF HOLY BAPTISM was celebrated on Sunday, December 21, 2025 for Sophia Ann Delzer. Her parents are Brice Delzer and Katie Nebel. Her sponsors are Joshua Delzer and Samantha Meneau. God bless Sophia, her parents, and sponsors as we welcome her into the family of God.

ALTAR FLOWERS in January are being provided by Penny Gerhartz, and there is still a slot open for January. There are other spots available on the 2026 chart, so be sure to sign up! Thank you to all those who provide flowers to beautify our sanctuary!

GIVING STATEMENTS will be available as of January 18, 2026. Please call or email the office to request your giving statement. If you would like to change how you receive your giving envelopes for 2027, please contact the office. We usually order our envelopes by March, so you have time to decide. There are multiple ways to give!
Weekly envelopes: 52 weekly envelopes plus extra envelopes for seasonal giving (Lent, Easter, Advent, Christmas)
Monthly envelopes: 12 monthly envelopes plus extra envelopes for seasonal giving (Lent, Easter, Advent, Christmas)
No envelopes: you will be assigned a number and can give whenever you wish by using pew envelopes or your own envelopes but can still request a giving statement.
