Plants & Animals for Christmas
Beautify the Sanctuary with a Poinsettia Plant Each poinsettia plant costs $8.00 and is in a foil wrapped 6 ½” pot. To order a poinsettia, use the order form below and place it in the offering plate or return it to the church office by Sunday, December 4, 2011 with your donation. Plants may be taken home after Christmas Eve Worship.

Animals that Make a Difference
This Christmas, give a gift that will change a life. Each gift of an animal listed below will be utilized by ELCA ministers to connect people with the resources they need to sustainably lift themselves from hunger and poverty. For every animal given, that animal will be added to the crèche on Christmas Eve. Gift cards are available in the narthex to tell loved ones you have given a gift in their honor. More info at elca.org/goodgifts. Could we give a whole barnyard this Christmas?
