You're invited to Andy & Kristen Douglass' home on Sunday, December 21st @ 4:30 pm for a time of fellowship, supper & Christmas caroling in their neighborhood.  Main dish and beverages are provided but we need for you to bring an appetizer or dish to share for supper.  Lots of homemade cookies have been baked but we need for you to bring an EMPTY gift bag -- we'll be packing them with the cookies to present to the families where we carol.  Please RSVP to Andy & Kristen at 262.594.3980.

The knitting needles and crochet hooks have been clicking away by the ladies of the Knitting Ministry.  The ladies are happy to report that they have distributed six Love Wraps to ETBC individuals who are facing or have experienced physical needs.  Your continued support through donations of yarn and financially is greatly appreciated.

YOU will be able to continue to donate toward the Transport for Christ project through the month of January.  List TFC on the check memo.  Contact Doug Krause (262.751.1002) for more information about TFC or with your questions.

If you have tapes from Sunday messages at ETBC that have been listened to and you no longer have a need for them then why not bring them back to church so they can be passed along to Transport for Christ to be used in their ministry to truckers.

It's not too late to join this new Adult Bible Study Class starting today, December 14 at 10:45 am. "Living God's Will" is a workbook Bible Study from the "Following God Discipleship Series" and will include discussion.  Meet us down the hall in rooms 7-9 where you will discover that God's will for your life according to Romans 12:2 is always "good and acceptable and perfect."  This Bible study is led by Al & Jean Kostopoulos.

Pre-Planning

Big Kids and Little Kids churches and all regular Sunday School classes are cancelled for the morning of December 21st so that all can partake in "The Sounds of Christmas".  Teachers, if you would like to have a Christmas celebration time with your Sunday School class, time would be available following the Christmas program to have the children take refreshments back to their classrooms.  Please let your class know if you will be doing this and how you want to handle this time.  Contact the church office with questions.

We'll be celebrating the birthday of a King on Sunday, December 21st with "The Sounds of Christmas" during the morning worship service at 9:00 am.  Refreshments along with a Happy Birthday cake for Jesus will be served following the program and we need your help to make this a success.  Please take time to sign up in the foyer to bring cookies, bars, etc. and help to make this an enjoyable time of fellowship for all who attend.

Unclaimed items left in the church kitchen or coat room will be donated to a worthy cause.  You have until December 21 to claim your lost item(s).
