Christmas Offering
Christmas is the time when we think of the “gifts” we give to our friends and loved ones. Shouldn’t this also be true that this is a time when we give “gift” to our Lord? This year the Christmas Offering will be used toward funding the 2022 National Youth Gathering (NYG) for Redeemer by the Sea youth which will be held in Houston, TX, July 9-13. These Youth Gatherings provide opportunities for our youth to boldly come together in the Name of Jesus Christ to proclaim, celebrate and witness their salvation through Him, rejoice in the fellowship of their Church and be encouraged and nurtured in their lives as God’s people through Word and Sacrament. Previous participants have said what a wonderful and blessed time it was!
The cost for the NYG is over $1,200 per participant for registration, airfare, hotel, meals and more. So your generous support is greatly appreciated – thank you! Click HERE to donate.

Advent Devotions
This year’s free Advent Devotion from Lutheran Hour Ministries (LHM) — “Child of Promise” are available in the church lobby or online. Each year Christians reflect on the hope God offers the world at Christmas. Born unto us—God’s Son, our Savior—Jesus is the fulfillment of the Father’s promise to send a Redeemer. Announced beforehand by the prophets, in the Christ Child we have the forgiveness of our sins and the hope of life eternal. This God has given to us in His Child of Promise. These Advent devotions start Nov. 29, 2021 and go through Jan. 6, 2022.
Thank you for the Shoeboxes
