CHURCH CLEAN UP

Saturday, January 10, 9:30am, please come up to church for Christmas clean-up. We’ll plan to take down the Christmas decorations to get ready for the new year!

WOL COMMUNITY GARDEN

It’s that time of the year again where gardeners are itching to get back in the soil… they may have to wait a few months, but it’s not too early to start planning! If you have a love of gardening we could use your help for our church’s garden! Contact Jim Hewitt or the office to see how you can get involved!

KINER WEDDING

Cat and Kurt would like to invite you to their wedding, Sunday, January 18th at noon.

No need to dress up, it’s casual! A potluck will follow the ceremony. Fried chicken will be provided. They’d be thrilled if youcould bring a favorite side dish, but it is certainly not a requirement! RSVP using the QR Code on the image above or email CurtandCatKiner@gmail.com.

CALL PROCESS UPDATE

The Call Committee is prayerfully exploring all avenues as we seek the next pastor for Word of Life. We continue to reach out to potential candidates for interviews and also have made initial inquiries about the process for requesting a candidate from one of the seminaries. Please continue to keep the call process in your prayers!

Nate Meier (chair), Philip Dani, Angela Ekhoff, Susan Heine, Sarah Jurchen, Kendra Schleicher

SCRIP

Thanks to everyone who ordered Scrip over the holidays and to everyone who keeps supporting the Scrip program. We will be placing another order after the 1st of the year. If there is anything you would like us to keep on hand just let us know.

OPTIONS FOR PARENTS

LIVE STREAM in our Nursery/Preschool room available during church services for anyone with the wiggles (young and old!). This space has plenty of toys to keep little ones occupied (parents should plan to be in the room with their children.)

Wiggle Room in Room #4 (the room just to the left out the Sanctuary door) is equipped with a TV to stream the service along with chairs, and a few toys. This is a great space for feeding babies or corralling toddlers! This space is also available during Sunday School for those who are not quite ready for the Preschool classroom. Parents should plan to supervise their children in this space.

And, as always, we welcome the squirms, noises, and energy that come with children. God put the wiggle in children, don’t feel like you have to suppress it here!

Children are a gift, and we’d love to support you in the faith formation of your family!
