GERMAN CHRISTMAS SERVICE AT SAINT PAUL Saint Paul Lutheran Church in Mount Prospect will be hosting its annual German language Christmas Service on Sunday, December 21, at 5:00 p.m. This is the congregation’s thirteenth annual German Christmas Service, and it draws worshipers from across the Chicago Northwest Suburbs. While the traditional Lutheran service will be conducted in German, an English translation of the sermon will be available. The German Christmas service is one of the few of its kind being held in Chicago’s Northwest Suburbs. Musical selections will be sung by the German- American Singers of Chicago Choir. The service is being held on Sunday evening and not the usual Saturday evening to ensure the participation of the German choir. Saint Paul is located at 100 S. School Street on the corner of Busse Avenue and School Street.
BOXTOPS FOR EDUCATION With grocery shopping for Thanksgiving and for Christmas next month, we have lots of opportunities to earn money for St. Peter. Think Pillsbury biscuits, Chex mix, Cheerios, etc. - they all earn money. You can scan a receipt up to 2 weeks after the purchase to qualify. So pull out those receipts and keep track of the ones for the holidays and start scanning!
This school year has started off strong with our Box Tops program as we near $200 earned since the beginning of the school year! We have new people signing up to participate nearly every month, so the program is growing. Of course, the more the merrier, so if you haven't already done so, please help St. Peter and enroll in this very worthwhile program. It costs you nothing, but based on what you purchase for your family, you can earn money for St. Peter. Download the Box Tops for Education app, being sure to include our unique Referral Code of RKJ22BC8 when prompted to generate a bonus for the school. Then scan all of your receipts and the app will determine if you have purchased a participating product.
Sip a cup of hot chocolate as we celebrate Christmas with a live nativity! Our high school youth will tell the story of Jesus’ birth through costumed characters, live animals, and your favorite Christmas carols. Enjoy a petting zoo with pony rides (for children under 110lbs)! Refreshments will be generously provided by the Lutheran Laymen’s League. This outdoor event will be at 10:00 AM on the North lawn.
🎄COMMUNITY PARTNERS CARING TREES—ALMOST FULL! Our Community Partners Team has been busy preparing a beautiful way to share Christ’s love this season. Christmas trees are now up in both the Narthex and the Life Center, each decorated with ornaments representing individuals and families supported by our partner organizations.
Every ornament includes a wish list item along with any special instructions. Thank you to everyone who has already taken an ornament—our trees are nearly fulfilled!
If you’d still like to participate, the trees went up the weekend of November 15 & 16, and all gifts should be returned by Sunday, December 14.
Let’s continue to bless our community together this Christmas.
