Saturday, November 28 Church Decorating 9-11am
This is not just a one-man, or one-woman show, this is a “WE” activity. We all enjoy the Christmas decorations; we need more bodies to make it happen. A sign-up sheet will be in the narthex. We need more help, or the only Christmas decorations will be the “Silent Night” candles.
Children’s Christmas Service
Sunday School Christmas Service Practices are held Sundays 12:30-2:30pm for 1st -8th grades. For children ages 3 through kindergarten, practices will be from 2:45-3:15pm on 11/29, 12/6, and 12/13.
Advent Prayer Buddy Request
The Children's Advent Program is on December 16 at the midweek service. Each year, our congregation members partner with a participant in the children's program as a Prayer Buddy. They keep their identity a secret while offering encouragement in the form of notes and prayers each week. On the evening of the Advent program, Prayer Buddies reveal their identity to the children with a small gift. We also have plans to continue this partnership throughout the year with fun events! Prayer Buddies can get to know one another better, fostering cross-generational relationships within our congregation. If you would like to become a Prayer Buddy for a child in the program, please contact Colleen Kosberg through email. Her email address is colleenkosberg@gmail.com. If you have any questions, you can email those, too!
Labors of Love
On November 21st Mt. Olive Lutheran Church is sponsoring a Labors of Love event where we respond to people in our geographic community who have requested our help with home projects (e.g., yardwork, painting, cleaning out a garage). We have been doing this three times a year for the past three years.
Our goal is:
1. To love our neighbors by serving them.
2. To mobilize our neighbors in serving one another. If you would like to partner with us in serving our neighbors, please use this link to go to the volunteer form, complete it, and submit.
