WAFL Christmas Program
I am writing to let you know that the Council interviewed and hired Pastor Doug Stave as our Interim Pastor. YOu will see more information about him in the December Newsletter. Pastor Doug will begin his duties on December 14th. Until that time, Pastor Tom will continue to help us through this transition time.
God bless you and your family during this busy Holiday Season.
In His service
Jan Smith
Council President
Please take time to visit the GIVING TREE in the Narthex. Each tag lists a child and an item which will make for a merrier Christmas. Select as many tags as you would like, purchase the item(s), wrap and attach tag to the gift and return here to the church no later than Wednesday December 15th. Thank You! Merry Christmas!
Men’s Fellowship Christmas Food Ministry
Men’s Fellowship will be sending gift cards for Larry’s Foods to families in need this Christmas. We are also planning to assist needy families with gift cards through our partnership with Battle Lake Schools. In an effort to expand our outreach we will also be supporting needs in the Ashby area with gift cards to their local grocery store. To support this project mail your check to First Lutheran Church 505 W Holdt St Battle Lake MN 56515. Any excess funds collected will go to our “First Cares Program”
We wish you a safe, healthy, and blessed Christmas.
Your Men’s Fellowship
This upcoming Advent season, Wednesday evening worship services will be held, starting December 1 at 7 PM and continue each Wednesday evening through December 22. We will be using the Holden Evening Prayer service to guide our worship journey for these services. If you are interested in sharing your musical talent and present special music for any of these upcoming services, please contact the office or one of the W&M committee members to express your interest and which service you prefer. First Lutheran Worship and Music, along with our pastor and church leadership, cordially invite you all to join in this worship time of meditation and preparation for the celebration of the arrival of our Savior, the baby Jesus
