ANNOUNCEMENTS:  JANUARY 19, 2020

• We extend a warm welcome to all who are worshiping with us this morning.  We hope you experience God’s presence through this worship and receive guidance for your life in God’s world.  If you are visiting, please sign our guest book in the narthex and provide a full address with zip code.  All are welcome to receive Holy Communion.  We offer white grape juice and red wine at communion.
• Resurrection is a “Reconciling in Christ” congregation.  “Reconciling in Christ” is the designation that this congregation affirms persons of all sexual orientations and gender identities.  We daily affirm that Christ lives in each person.
• Nametags:  Don’t forget to grab your nametag out of the boxes in the narthex by the front door and wear it!  There are extra blank stick-on tags if you can’t find yours.
• Blessing Bags are Available in the Narthex!:  Kids, be sure to grab a bag filled with activities and books located right outside the doors to the church.
• Fellowship Snack Sign-up: The fellowship snack sign-up for 2020 has been posted on the kiosk.  Please consider celebrating special occasions, e.g. birthdays, anniversaries, by bringing a treat to share with your Resurrection family.  Any questions, call or text Debbie Kainz (414) 828-6238 or Brenda Skelton (414) 380-4828. 
  
  

 
NEW AND NOTEWORTHY

1. ANNUAL MEETING:  On Sunday, February  2, 2020, the congregation will meet, following service for the Annual Meeting of the Congregation.  One week prior, the congregation will meet following service to review the proposed 2020 budget.  That meeting is on Sunday, January 26, 2020.
2. PRAYER JAR:  All are invited to add to the beauty of our prayer jar, currently located in the narthex on the counter.  To do so, all you need to do is say a prayer and add a teaspoon of whatever color sand you choose.  It will be a slow process, but before long, we will have a beautiful jar of many colored sands that represent the many prayers we offer on behalf of one another and the world.  This is an idea our youth brought back from their trip to the ELCA Youth Gathering in Houston.
3. CHECK OUT THE SUNDAY MORNING TREATS SIGN-UP SHEET!:  Please consider signing up to provide treats for our coffee hour after worship on Sundays.  It’s a great time for fellowship, so if you enjoy a treat on a Sunday morning, please sign up on the kiosk to take a turn and bring your favorite goody to share!
