Sunday School resumes on this Epiphany Sunday with our traditional viewing of the movie The Very First Noel. Narrated by Andy Griffith, the movie tells the story of the three wisemen following the magnificent star in search of the newborn King.

Kids are invited to come to church in their pajamas and any comfort items to snuggle with while we watch the movie together.


Wow! We set a record of donating 182 winter gear items this year – amazing! Thank you for the new and gently used winter gear items that will be going to those less fortunate to stay warm this winter.  

Thank you to LizBeth Brown, Linda Nelson and Mary Sabatke for helping sort and organize the donations in preparation for delivery to Project for Pride in Living.


Twelve care packages will be heading to our college age young adults in the next week – just in time for finals preparation. Thank you to the Sunday School children for helping pack them and thank you to the families who donated the snacks. The college students love receiving this gift of love from LOTI.


This year the Sunday School children will present the nativity scene during the Lessons and Carols service on Sunday, December 17. Details will be sent via email to Sunday School families for this very special day.

Successful Water the Lawn Fundraiser

[You Did Avoid ~
Putting the Pastor Out to Pasture Faster]

Greetings!

What a wonderful gathering last Sunday evening at the home of Bernie and Michelle Reisberg.
There was so much to celebrate, it is hard to know where to begin.

Thank you, Bernie and Michelle for your warmth and hospitality. Not everyone would welcome 75 guests to walk around their home. Thank you to Michelle McCreery, Mark Duff and Brad Anderson. Michelle always manages to prepare a wonderful meal.

This food was exquisite– and served the proper beverages poured by Mark and his bar back Brad. Thanks to Marty Carlson for moving furniture and food up and down the hill.

Thank you to Susanne Haas and Dale Thomas for organizing the silent auction. They solicited a wonderful collection of items and services- from sourdough baking classes to a weekend stay at the Harvard Club in New York.

Thank you for all those who contributed items, gifts and services. And thanks to all who bid on the items. Everyone found a way to contribute in a meaningful way to the success of this fundraiser.
