Read 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13

Some members of the Thessalonian church, because of their belief in the nearness of Christ’s return, had ceased to work, living off the generosity of other members of the community. The Apostle Paul warns them bluntly that if they want to eat, they need to work.

What is our relationship as the church with work? Far from merely an economics lesson, Paul writes to a particular community, the church, to recognize that everyone – has a place to serve in God’s kingdom.

Join us on Sunday as we explore our relationship as the church and the work God entrusts to us. 

 Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you. Matthew 6:33 

I want to give thanks to so many who have opened up their hearts in generosity to give lavishly to God's mission.

Your gifts ensure that ministry can remain vibrant and the gospel can be proclaimed in wondrous ways.

If you missed our Stewardship Sunday, it’s not too late to offer your commitment and pledge your support for the church.

Our Little Pantry is blessing lives each day because of your support.

As we head into the coldest months of the year we would like to place a few hats and gloves in the pantry for people who stop by.   Any donations you have can be placed in the SOS Shopping Cart in the Narthex. 

Come join us for a full breakfast at 8:30am - 9:30am and do some shopping afterward.  MayaWorks will set up their artisanal products for sale in the Narthex.

Today MayaWorks partners with over 125 artisans in six communities along the Central Highlands of Guatemala. The organization has two offices, one in Guatemala staffed by local women who work directly with the artisans and one in Chicago that distributes and markets the product.  MayaWorks helps women transform their skills into a means of financial support for their families by creating a market for the traditional arts of Maya artisans. Textile products are distributed within wholesale and retail markets and are also sold by U.S. women in their local communities.  At its core, MayaWorks is about creating work for women so that they can financially support their families and become fully contributing members of their communities.

Giving Guatemalan women an opportunity to earn an income from their skills gives them self-confidence and hope for themselves, their families and their communities. For U.S. women, reaching across borders to give a hand up to help women in developing countries allows them to participate in economic justice on a global level.

We are very excited about this year’s Live Nativity!  We have made some changes that will hopefully enhance the experience of each person who visits the Nativity. We will have better lighting and we will have a welcome center and maps.  We will have our Carolers amplified so they can be heard.  We will be serving Hot Chocolate and Cider.   Participants will be able to visit a Bakery and make bread, visit Joseph’s Carpenter Shop and make a keepsake, visit the Ornament Shop to make an ornament to take home and even make some butter to sample at Hannah’s Homemade Butter Shop.

We are part of one church body organized in three expressions — congregations, synods, and the churchwide organization. Each expression has its particular functions but all three together share a common mission of doing God’s work in the world and proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ. Together, they ensure a solid foundation of leadership, active involvement in communities, opportunities for dialogue and diverse perspectives, creative partnerships, and support for members and ministries of the ELCA.
