Dear Church Family,
Please find attached the Bulletin, the Announcements, and the Children’s Activity Sheets for Sunday Worship. The December Newsletter is also attached.
Thank you to our lectors Paul Weatherington, Tannis Sharp, and Ezekiel Blazer, ushers Noreen Donald and Larry Trenouth, acolyte Illaria Blaser, communion assistant Tannis Sharp, musician & choir director Deborah Buck, and technical support Bryan Tastad for assisting in this Sunday’s worship. Thanks also to Leverne & Rene Baxter for Coffee Set-up and Clean-up, the altar guild for communion preparations, and special thanks to Augustana-St. Timothy’s choir for the special music.

TO NOTE:
Lessons and Carols Hymn Bracket
Help us choose the hymns for our Lessons & Carols service!
Here's all you need to do: just pick the hymn you like better from each pair, and... that's it!
We'll share the weekly link in the worship email each week, on our YouTube livestream, and as a QR Code in the church to an online form where you can vote. We'll also have paper ballots to cast your vote in the Narthex. If there’s a hymn you’re passionate about maybe a bit of good natured campaigning is in order!
The link for this week is https://forms.office.com/r/ektaLMNzXS
Each week's poll will be available from Friday to Tuesday - so get your votes in early!
Don't know a particular hymn? We've listed the hymn number (and book) to help you out, and there are hymnals available in the Narthex. Or, send an email to Rev.AlexaWallace@gmail.com and she’ll send you a link to listen on YouTube.
As a congregation, we'll narrow it down to 8 - 2 each from the "Classics," Evangelical Lutheran Worship (Cranberry Book), Common Praise (the Blue Anglican book), and some new favourites from All Creation Sings (the new purple Lutheran hymn book) and Sing a New Creation (the new Purple Anglican hymn book). Then Pastor Kirk and our wonderful musicians will choose hymns from our shortlist to create our service of Lessons & Carols! (Of course, they might add some of their favourites too!.)
Blessings on your weekend!
