Our Church Family

Welcome to Park Church! This morning Dan Claus will present the message.

We will celebrate the sacrament of Holy Communion in this last service of 2015. Eve-

ning worship will not be held today. Next Sunday morning we will recognize the start of

Epiphany, and communion will be served. Park Church is equipped with the Hearing Loop System. This system is compatible

with hearing aids that have a T Coil setting. If you do not have a compatible hearing

aid, please contact an usher for a receiver.

Join us following worship this morning for a time of fellowship and refreshments in the

Atrium.

Children’s Sunday Education through grade 9 will not meet today or next Sun-

day. They will resume on January 10.

Office Hours The church office will be closed this Thursday, December 31 and Fri-

day, January 1. Bulletin announcements should be given to the office by noon on

Tuesday, December 29, for the bulletin of January 3.

Vacation Pastor Doug will be on vacation this week. If needs arise please contact

your care circle elder or deacon.

Wednesday Dinners We are looking ahead to the winter schedule

for Wednesday evenings and January is next week! We are in need of help to coordi-

nate meals for these ministries on January 13, February 24, and March 9 and 23. If

you are willing to sign up to coordinate 1 (or more) of the 4 remaining Wednesdays, that

would be wonderful! Some ideas for dinners are pizza, taco salad, soup/chili, and

pasta, but if you have another idea, feel free to run with that. If you are part of a small

group and would like to do this with your group, that would be great too! Once the

dates have been filled with coordinators, a sign-up sheet will be available to volunteers

to sign-up to help. Please consider helping to make this ministry of outreach and fellow-

ship a success! Any questions, contact Dan Claus.

Harrington's Hope Care Closet The requested donations for the month of

December are paper towels and “Awesome” brand cleaner. January requested dona-

tions are laundry detergent and bleach. Items may be placed in or by the cabinet which

is located on the west side of the Atrium, near the Harrington’s Hope office and Music

Room.

Diaper Donations may be brought to church through this Thursday and placed on

the table by the Nursery.
