The December Newsletter is available for you to pick up today. It can
be found on the table in the gathering area. Be sure to pick up
yours, as well as one of someone who isn't here this morning so that
you can deliver it to them this week.

Advent is a time of preparation. To that end, CHLC is offering
additional worship opportunities so you may prepare your heart and
mind for the celebration of our Lord's coming. Join us for Vespers on
December 3, 10, 17. Stay for fellowship with cookies, coffee and hot
chocolate after Vespers.

Today in Sunday School: Sunday School students studied the story of
David and Jonathan today. Just as David's and Jonathan's brotherly
love for each other reflected the love of God within their hearts, so,
too, our love for others is the reflection of God's love given to us
through Christ. Parents could ask, "How did David and Jonathan
demonstrate their love and care for each other? How does God
demonstrate His love and care for us?"

Poinsettias: The cost this year is $10.00. A signup sheet is located on
the table in the gathering area. To pay for poinsettias make checks
payable to CHLC marked "Poinsettias" on the memo line on the
check. The deadline is tomorrow, Monday, December 1.

Building Healthy Families: Someone once said there are three ways
to get something done: do it yourself; hire it done; or forbid your kids
to do it. Innovation is at the heart of parenting. If what you are doing
isn't working (screaming, cajoling, demanding) maybe there is a
better way. Find creative ways to engage your children in the tasks
that need to be done every day. You (and they) will have more fun
and get the job done, too! Lutheran Family Service of Iowa 800-622-

Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son' (Isaiah 7:14) . . .
there are two promises here separated by nine months! The virgin will
first conceive. There is the great miracle of the incarnation, God
becoming human. Then she will give birth. There is the great miracle
of God being born in an ordinary way so He could live and die for
sinful humanity." Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, executive director of
Lutherans For Life. A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life /
