Each year we send Christmas cards to our missionaries to let them know that they are very much in our hearts and minds. Stop by the Mission Wall (to the west side of the auditorium) to sign the cards any Sunday this month.

Angel Tree serves St. Louis families with a parent in a prison by providing gifts to children who may not have anything to open Christmas morning. Whole families are transformed by this simple act of love and grace! Look for the Angel Tree on the east side of the main lobby. All gifts should be wrapped, labeled, and returned by December 2. Questions? Contact christmasangel@efree.org

The Deacon Board seeks to be a help and a blessing to those in our church family who struggle to make ends meet, especially during the Christmas holidays. We are blessed to be heading up the Holly Hearts ministry again this year. We have reached out to a number of families who may be struggling this holiday season and have asked them for gift ideas for their children. These gift suggestions are hanging on the Holly Hearts tree in the lobby. Pick a heart from the tree (as many as you like!), fulfill a child’s gift request, and return the wrapped gift to the tree by December 9. If you have any questions, please contact: Carol Riebeling (carolmary.rieb@gmail.com) or Marilyn Simpson (2ndserve@att.net).

We are partnering with Carman Trails school to help support some of their students who face food insecurity. To help, please bring non-perishable, shelf-stable items (not canned, because of weight) to the hampers at the entrances to the building. Suggested items include fruit cups, prepared pasta meals, chicken/tuna packets, etc. Thank you for your generosity!

Our monthly women's worship and prayer gathering meets on the 1st Saturday of each month. We meet in Room 341 from 8:30 - 10:00 am, and we provide the coffee! Join us for time spent with the Lord and your sisters in Christ.
