Midweek Advent Worship This Advent season, we invite you to leave the “hustle and bustle” of the preparations behind for a brief time each Wednesday evening, and join us for a midweek Advent worship service. This brief service (only about 35 minutes) is a candlelight service and uses the beautiful sung liturgy, “Holden Evening Prayer”. The theme for Advent worship is People, Look East. The midweek Advent worship services will be held on Wednesdays, December 5th, 12th and 19th at 7:00 p.m.
In the midst of the busyness of the holiday season, take time to worship with us in the midst of the week and center yourself in the reason for the season – Jesus Christ.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Advent! December 2 marks
the beginning of a new year of the church calendar with
the season of Advent. Advent is a time of expectant
waiting and spiritual preparation for the Nativity of Our
Lord at Christmas. The word advent comes from the Latin
word adventus, which means “coming” or “visit.”
During Advent we are especially mindful that we need a Savior. We recall both
“advents” of Christ: We look forward to the Savior’s second coming at the same
time we prepare to celebrate Christ’s first coming at Christmas. Advent is a time
we live in the tension of expectant waiting. We reflect on scriptures and sing hymns
rich with themes of mystery and wonder.
Do wonder, waiting and preparation sound and feel familiar? As I begin serving in
my call as your Pastor, I am reminded that God has prepared us for this very
moment. How might we live into the mystery of Advent together? How might we
celebrate and cultivate a sense of wonder? Certainly there is much to wonder
about as we embark on our journey together: What is God up to at Bethel? What is
God up to in Green Bay? Our Synod? Our world?
God faithfully and relentlessly calls us to wonder, even when we wander. God calls
us into community time and time again. These are exciting times at Bethel. With
great hope and anticipation we journey together, led by the Spirit into a bright
future. How wonder-full is that?!
Blessings,
Pastor Marilyn

Those who participate in Simply Giving, you still need an envelope number of recording your giving. Please pick up your box for special Lent, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas giving.

Bethel Revitalization
A new opportunity to look at the physical structure of Bethel Church is underway. For several years we have been addressing structural and worship design concerns within our sanctuary in a somewhat fragmented fashion. Committees such as Memorial and Special Gifts and the Core Teams of Bethel, along with the Church Council, have discussed and identified needed updates.
Together we learned over a year ago, through the Saturday, October 21st event with Pastor Jean DeVoll-Donaldson entitled “Walking with God in a Changing World”, that parts of our
church building are somewhat dated and need care. Electrical redesign for lighting and technology are among the areas of need. Addressing these structural concerns will help us in our journey to continue to be a relevant church in a changing world.
With that, I am asking individuals of the congregation to join with the Leadership Core Team to form a study committee for church sanctuary renovation. It will be important to maintain the traditions of Bethel, yet be innovative enough to move us forward in living out our mission and vision.
Through the efforts, over the past several years, of Sue Keckhaver, our Administrative Assistant, we have found a Wisconsin Design Company that would be able to help us fulfill our needs in an organized and thoughtful fashion. Now we need some of you to reflect on and define those needs.
If you are willing to volunteer to be part of this Sanctuary Revitalization Committee please contact Sue in the Church Office by Monday, December 10th. Thank you for sharing your gifts!
Michael Zastrow, Church President
The Youth Room will be open on Sundays in between services. All youth 7th-12th grade are welcome to join in discussion, activities, food, and fun! Please consider bringing a friend to join you!

Special Music Opportunities
Whether it’s adding an instrumental or vocal descant to a hymn or being part of a larger group, special music is a valuable addition to our upcoming festive Christmas worship services. If you play a brass, woodwind or string instrument, please consider sharing your talents with us. Vocal opportunities exist for solos, duets, or small ensembles as well as singing with the Bethel Choir. If you would like more information, please contact Diane Meinel, Music Director.

Celebrations and New Adventures for the Mbatia family!!
Dear Bethel,
Two major changes will soon be happening in the lives of our friends George, Rahab and Makena!
1. George will be graduating from Fox Valley Tech on Saturday, December 15. Anyone who wishes to send congratulations can address them to:
George Mbatia and family 2919 W. Glenpark Drive Apt 209 Appleton, WI 54914
2. With love and support from Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Appleton, the family is moving toward independence. George needs some help and networking to find a job or internship. If anyone has any connections in the IT (computer) world, please reach out to Heather Strayer or leave a message in the church office. George has a completed resumé that can be shared with you. In order for George to remain in America on his VISA he needs a job related to his Tech School degree.
The family is always in need of gas gift cards and grocery gift cards. Please prayerfully consider a donation to the family. Gift cards can be sent directly to the family. As always, thank you for your continued support of the Mbatia family!!

Reverse Advent Calendar What is a reverse advent calendar? Why you should make one this year with your family!
Everyone loves advent calendars to count them down to Christmas Day. Most children adore receiving one at the beginning of December because it gets them excited for Santa coming and every surprise that they open on the way is a promise of what’s to come.
But if you want to try something a little different this year, you can create an advent calendar that you and your children put something into every day instead of taking something out. Reverse advent calendars work by you filling them every day with items of food or clothing that can then be taken to a food bank or charity in order to help those less fortunate that are strug-gling at Christmas time.
After gathering helpful items all month, you can take everything you’ve saved to your local help scheme on Christmas Eve and know that you’ve given a Christmas present to someone that really needed it. Not only is this a fun thing for the whole family to do together, from creating the advent calendar structure itself to picking the goodies to go in it, it more importantly teaches your kids the importance of helping others and seeing the bigger picture at Christmas.
Follow these five simple steps to start this sweet tradition with your children.
Step 1:
Start either 24 or 12 days before Christmas and decide whether you’re going to collect food, clothes or presents.
Step 2:
Pick something to collect your advent calendar gifts in. This can be something really easy like a basket or cardboard box, or alternatively you could make individual pockets for each day using strips of cardboard and even add some paint and glitter to jazz it up.
Step 3:
Every day choose something from your own supplies or from a store with your family to donate to your reverse advent calendar.
Step 4:
A few days before Christmas when you can make some time, take your offerings down to your local food bank or charity and donate them.
Step 5:
Spend some time with your little ones imagining who you might have helped by starting this special tradition and ask everyone to pick a reason why they are lucky this Christmas.

New Books!!
The Red Door Inn by Liz Johnson
From the back of the book,” Marie Carrington is broke, desperate, and hoping to find
sanctuary on Prince Edward Island while decorating a renovated bed-and breakfast. Seth
Sloane moved three thousand miles to help restore his uncle’s Victorian B and B -- . . . The
only thing Marie and Seth agree on is that getting the Red Door Inn ready to open in just two
months will take everything they’ve got –” This highly recommended book is the first in a new
series.
Forgiveness by Adam Hamilton
You may recognize the author’s name from the video series “24 Hours that Changed the
World” that Bethel did several years ago. Adam Hamilton is a Methodist pastor in Kansas who
is able to explain questions of faith in a down-to earth manner. He equates our need to forgive
and be forgiven with carrying a backpack filled with rocks. Over time the tiny stones and large
boulders weigh us down and break more than our spirit. Hamilton shows how to receive the
freedom that comes with forgiving, even if it is our self that needs to be forgiven. A challenge to
each of us to practice forgiveness!
The Amazing Adventures of Harry Moon – Halloween Nightmares by Mark Andrew Poe
Halloween visited the town of Sleepy Hollow and never left. Darkness may have found a
home in Sleepy Hollow but if Harry Moon, a young eight grade magician, has anything to say
about it, darkness will not be staying. This is a new addition to our books for the upper grades.
They are currently found on the left shelves as you face the book wall in the children's’ library.
Let us know if you enjoy it.
Waves of Mercy by Lynn Austin
Set in Holland, Michigan in the late 1890’s , two women search for answers along the shores of Lake Michigan. Anna Nicholson, a Chicago socialite, seeks to recover from her broken engagement and find answers about her new-found faith. Geesje de Jonge begins to search through her own memories of arriving from Holland almost fifty years ago. Past and present collide as Anna and Geesje seek clarity, but neither expects the revelations that await them.
