Poinsettias
● You are invited to purchase and dedicate a poinsettia (or
two, or more!) to beautify our chancel on Christmas Eve.
Dedication slips are included in today’s bulletin. Please fill
one out, add the remittance, and place it in the offering plate.
A dedication page will be included in the bulletins at both
services on December 24. Thank you! You may take your
poinsettia home with you after the 9:00 PM service that day.

throughout Advent. Please look for these and bid generously.

Grace Family Tree
● Did you know that Grace Lutheran has a family tree? We
do! Our family tree is in the form of a Christmas tree located
in the Fellowship Hall. If you haven’t already done so, you are
invited to bring an ornament to add to the tree! Please mark
your name on it so that we can remember you as part of our
family of faith here at Grace and fully appreciate the beauty of
our family tree!
Disciples in Service
● There are printed copies of the newest Disciples in Service
spreadsheet available for you to take home today; they are
located on the greeter’s table in the Fellowship Hall. These
new schedules run through February 2024.
