Flowers on the altar this weekend are sponsored by Sara Fegley in loving memory of Crystal
Von Kampen; and by Brad & Pam Carlson in thanks for God’s many blessings.

There are still poinsettias available for anyone who would like to have one. They are now in
the Fellowship Hall kitchen.

Youth bulletins are available from the ushers or the table in the back of the sanctuary.
Please be sure to grab one!

We are always in need of willing helpers for our worship services, especially greeters, ushers
and communion assistants. In the back of the sanctuary you will find a spread sheet (for the
Sunday services) for helpers through May. Look for a “yellow” cell and help us fill in the
blanks!

THE ANNUAL MEETING IS SCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY, JANUARY 26, AT 1 PM.

The Financial Forum will be held on Sunday, Jan. 19, between services at 9:45 AM.
