Announcements
WELCOME—It is our pleasure to welcome Rev. David Wangaard today.
Pastor Wangaard is part of Lutheran World Relief and joins us as part of our
Alternative Christmas event this weekend. He will be present in Wagenhals
Hall to speak about the water project in Indonesia and to answer questions.
ALTERNATIVE CHRISTMAS is Sunday, November 9, 2014, from 8a-12:30p.
This year we are taking a new approach! We are featuring a phenomenal project
through Lutheran World Relief (LWR) for Indonesia. All gifts for this project will
be matched dollar for dollar through the Trinity English Foundation. WELCA
invites you to become involved with the Indonesia project and will also offer
you the opportunity to purchase Divine Chocolate, coffee, dips and mixes, and a
few other new items. Credit cards, cash and checks will be accepted for the food
items. For the Indonesia project we can accept only cash or checks. Questions,
contact Connie Gerber at (260) 436-3213.
CHORAL EVENING PRAYER—On Sunday, November 9, at 4p the Chancel Choir,
harp, organ, and percussion will offer Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms during the Evening Prayer Worship Service. The work is a unique setting of several
Psalms, written by the composer who wrote “Westside Story.” Evening Prayer is
a reflective way to complement Sunday morning services. If you are not able to
be present for morning liturgies, consider attending this service.
PROSPECTIVE MEMBER CLASS—Class will be held on November 9, at
12:15p in the Seeds of Faith Conference Room. Lunch will be served. Reception of new members will take place on November 16 at 11:00a.
