Bell Ringing at Walmart on December 14

St. John's is signed up to ring the bells at the north door (food side) for Agape (Salvation Army) on Saturday, December 14 from 8am-8pm. 
 
Here is the schedule.  I am breaking it up into one hour time slots.  If you would like to do more than one hour please feel free to sign up for two or three. 
 
It is always fun to do it as a family!  Or if a bunch of kids want to get together and do it, that is fun too.  Bring your songbooks and sing Christmas carols, do dramatic readings of something, whatever you want to do.    SIGN UP TODAY!!!
 
 
Thanks!

DEVOTION:  In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning. 
John 1:1
 
I think it is always interesting when we question God.  We have been around 30, 40, or 50 years, maybe a little more  God has been around since the beginning.  Yet, we question Him and try to insert our own ideas and thoughts as if they were better than His.  Sounds kind of silly, doesn't it?
 
Teenagers do the same thing with their parents.  When I was a teenager I did the same thing.  I defied my parents, because I thought they were just silly old people who didn't have a clue.  Boy was I wrong. 
 
You do the same thing with God.  Every time you sin, every time you do the opposite of what God wants you to do, you are basically saying that you know better than God.  You are saying that your way is right and God's way is nonsense. 
 
Today, realize that your way is not best unless it agrees and follows God's way.  Repent of your own selfish ideas.  Turn from your ways and turn to God's ways that He may direct your path and that you may know what true and real peace is. 
 
Let us pray:  Lord God, help me to quit acting like a teenager when it comes to doing your will.  Help me to do your will when it comes to my finances, my marriage, my kids, my job, my church, and my life.  Amen.

CHRISTMAS PROGRAM ALREADY????
Let's get ready for the Christmas Program! I know we haven't even had Halloween and Thanksgiving yet!!! We have to start on the program now because we only have NINE more Sundays to practice before the December 15th Program. We will be holding the program at the 11am church service. Now if you are a Sunday school age student and wish to be part of the program, please come to Sunday school as much as possible for the next nine weeks.

Besides the traditional songs we will sing as a group we will also be doing the ushering, offering, and readings for the service. Any age students may participate in the background support rolls. We are also looking for students to play their instruments and/or sing a special piece. If you are interested please contact Karin Klaustermeier or Donna Sherman.

POSSIBLE TRIP TO THE CREATION MUSEUM NEXT SPRING OR SUMMER
 
Hey parents of Sunday School Students!
We have a grand idea to take the kids to the Creation Museum! This would be a trip we would raise the money for the expense. We have a starting fundraiser idea and hope to get matching funds from Thrivent.

Are you interested in having your kids take a learning journey that may be the cornerstone of their faith for the years ahead? Parents are welcome to come along. We are in the early idea stages, but we would take the six hour trip by motor coach to the museum and plan to spend the night near by in order to take advantage of the special tickets you can use two days in a row.
