ANNOUNCEMENTS: DECEMBER 1, 2019
We extend a warm welcome to all who are worshipping 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.
NEW AND NOTEWORTHY
LONGEST NIGHT SERVICE & FELLOWSHIP: On Thursday, December 19th, at 6:30 p.m. our candlelight Longest Night service will be held with singing and Holy Communion being served. Following worship, please join with your RLC family for cider and cookies in Fellowship Hall. The sign-in sheet for providing treats is posted on the kiosk.
PRAYER JAR: All are invited to add to the beauty of our prayer jar, currently located in the sanctuary. 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. The sand at the bottom of the jar is from Galveston, Texas; our youth collected it on the beach and brought it back to be the foundation of our prayer jar.
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!
