BAPTISM OF MATT & EVELYN JOHNSON
On Sunday November 30th, Matt and his daughter Evelyn will be baptized during our
Divine Service. A brief reception will follow worship as we officially welcome these
saints into the Church!
CHOIR CLUB
Choir Club meets on Thursdays from 6:30 – 7:15 PM. This is a fun and educational
time to familiarize yourself with the upcoming hymns for Sunday’s worship service and
learn the history behind the chosen hymns, their hymn writers, and
their connection to the liturgy. Consider adding this opportunity to your weekly
schedule, all are welcome!
FOOD PANTRY HELP
With SNAP benefits being put on hold for many, our outdoor Free Food Pantry will
be in need of more non-perishable items. Canned soup, canned meat, instant noodles,
and fruit cups are among our most frequently consumed products, but any
contributions will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to our Visitors!
Grace Lutheran Church welcomes you this morning! We value families with children
and encourage you to worship together; if you would like assistance during the
sermon, we have volunteers who will be happy to take your child to a Nursery Area
following the Children’s Message, they will return your child to you in the sanctuary
just before Holy Communion. Please fill out a Visitor Connect card, these are found
either on the entrance table or in the pew rack in front of you. Completed cards
should be placed in the offering plate and will be collected with the offering today.
Sunday School
All are welcome to attend the adult Sunday School class before worship beginning at
8:45. We are currently studying Early Church History.
Holy Communion
Those who are baptized and believe that Jesus Christ, crucified and risen, is truly
present in the forms of bread and wine for the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation,
are welcome to the Lord’s Table with their baptized children, regardless of age.
Please let the Pastor know that you wish to receive this gift of life by holding out
your open hands. If you desire to drink the wine from the common cup, please
proceed to the left chalice after receiving the wafer. If you prefer to dip the wafer into
the wine, please proceed to the right chalice after receiving the wafer. All are
welcome to come forward for a blessing. The sign for a blessing is folded hands.
