Hello!
WOW! We had such a fantastic Manna order this week and, by popular request, we will be placing an additional Manna order. This second order needs to be turned in by Sunday, December 14th and will be delivered on Sunday, December 21st—just in time for Christmas giving. Forms are available in the office or at church on Sunday.

Advent Midweek Worship continues.
At the request of several members, we have had and will have Advent midweek worship. Our next one will be Wednesday, December 17 at 7p at church. Join us for this quiet time in the midst of a busy season to reflect on the meaning of Christmas.
Christmas Eve Worship survey—What are your thoughts?
Pastor Suzanne and the Inreach team are planning Christmas Eve service times. As of now, we have one service at 11pm planned, which will include the first Communion of Christmas. The team, however, is considering doing a morning or noon service, as well. If you are interested in attending a service at that time, please contact me, Renea, in the church office (815-886-4354) or Pastor Suzanne or Roy Jamason. Thanks!
Manna December order one will be delivered this Sunday, and December order two is due! Check over the December order form that includes a special card under miscellaneous valued at $50 that is good at 17 different popular places. See the special attachment which also includes information on ordering gift card boxes. When giving Manna cards, you don't have to worry about the color, size or style of the gift—the recipient chooses just what they want, making it a win-win for everyone. Having extra cards for forgotten gifts or giving one as a hostess gift is also an option. Cards can be kept on hand for any time or occasion, and are a safe way to spend without carrying cash or worrying about a credit card being hacked by a security breach. There are several vendor cards that will suit everyone's needs. Best of all, you only pay the face value of the card and never have any extra fees added. Check out the form and consider placing an order (or another order) on Sunday. Thanks!
I'm wishing peace, hope, love, faith, grace, health and warmth to you all. Have a good week. Saturday is 12-13-14. Have anything special planned?
