currently on the Altar Guild list, please let Cari know whether you would like

MANY THANKS to the congregation from Pastor Cook
and the faculty and staff of White Creek Lutheran School for the Christmas
gifts. Your prayers and support of our
ministry are wonderful blessings for all here at St. John's!
A BIG THANK-YOU to Clara Claycamp for purchasing and
organizing the Christmas candy treats for the past several years and also those
who helped her pack them. Clara would
like to "retire" from this project, so we will be looking for someone
to take this over. If you would like to
do this, please contact Doyce Eckelman.
ALSO, MANY THANKS TO Karen Schlehuser for her creative
talents in beautifying our altar and narthex for the Christmas season. Persons who donated poinsettias are asked to
please remove them after next Sunday's worship.
