🎄COMMUNITY PARTNERS CARING TREES🎄
The Community Partners Team is placing Christmas trees in the Narthex and Life Center decorated with ornaments representing various organizations we support. Each ornament lists the wishes and needs of individuals along with any special instructions for the gifts. The trees will be up starting the weekend of November 14 & 15, and all gifts should be returned to the church by Sunday, December 13.
• Red Ornaments — A child from Jehovah’s School, Good Shepherd Christian Academy
• Christmas Trees — PADS (Local Homeless Shelter guests)
• Blue Angels — Safe Families for Children (Partners with parents in crisis)
• Yellow Stars — LINC

Your support and generosity are greatly appreciated and truly blesses those in need. Thank you.

LCMS PASTORAL FORMATION COMMITTEE LISTENING SESSION THIS WEEKEND
The Pastoral Formation Committee (PFC) is excited to be hosting Listening Sessions in The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) Great Lakes Region at St. Peter on Nov. 14 from 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. Our hope is to engage in a fruitful discussion about how the LCMS is forming faithful pastors to meet the current and future demands of the holy ministry. The panel will include the two seminary presidents — the Rev. Dr. Thomas Egger (St. Louis) and the Rev. Dr. Jon Bruss (Fort Wayne) — along with the Rev. Dan Galchutt, LCMS chief mission officer, and the Rev. Dr. James Baneck, executive director of LCMS Pastoral Education. We are hoping for a healthy conversation as we answer questions and share insights and information. To that end, we are grateful to you for sharing information about the session with your congregation. District staff, pastors, commissioned workers and laity are invited to attend.
