Looney Lutherans - December 20
The Campanile Center in Minocqua is featuring a Christmas Show featuring the Looney Lutherans on Friday December 20th at 7:00pm. The Looney Lutherans is a comedy group of three women from Minnesota that used to be a part of the Church Basement Ladies. They appeared last Spring at the Campanile and were hilarious! Through skits and songs this group lovingly satirizes some of our beloved Lutheran traditions. If we have enough people wanting to attend this show, we can get a 10% discount. This reduces the of cost of each ticket to $32.00. Tickets will go quickly so check your holiday calendars and make plans to join in the fun! Please contact Jim and/or Vicky Holbrook to get on the list for this fun outing.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Faith Comes by Hearing
Faith Comes by Hearing has come alongside the worldwide translation community in a movement to ensure that everyone on Earth has access to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a format they can understand. An estimated 1,200 oral language groups have waited thousands of years to receive the Scriptures. Many will never obtain the written Word of God, but they can still hear the saving truth of the Gospel - thanks to Oral Bible Translation. Our goal: To work in partnership to see that the Word of God is recorded and freely provided in every language that needs it. If you're interested in supporting the work of Faith Comes by Hearing, a gift box marked Faith Comes by Hearing is on the shelves in the Narthex. Thank you for your prayers and donations to ensure that every language has Scripture by the year 2033!

DVD Lending Library
Over the past several years, the congregation has purchased or received as gifts a variety of excellent Christian movies for children and adults. We are making these DVD's available for our members to check out and use at home. In an effort to keep track of these dvds/videos, we ask that when you select an item to borrow, you please fill out the card attached to it and place the card in the designated box on the library shelf. We encourage you to keep them for only one week and then return them to the Library “Return Basket.” This system will hopefully help us to be good stewards in using these resources and being accountable for their whereabouts. ENJOY!
