December Pastor's Letter

Advent and Christmas Services

"The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." Mark 1:1.

The writer of the gospel of Mark announces that what you are about to read is no ordinary news. What you are about to read is good news! The good news is this: That God became human being and came to live among us. During this Advent season we are preparing for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Then at Christmas we celebrate Christ’s birth.

I invite you to join us for worship during this Advent and Christmas Season. We have worship on Sundays at 11:00 a.m. Then on Wednesday evenings during Advent (November 30, and December 7, 14, and 21), we join our friends at Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church in De Soto for supper at 6:00 p.m. and worship at 7:00 p.m. The church is located at 114 S. Oak St. in De Soto.

Finally, we will celebrate Jesus’ birth on December 24 with our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at 9:00 p.m. and on December 25 with our Christmas Day Service at 11:00 a.m. We will celebrate Holy Communion on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

May God bless you in this season of hope.
Pastor Ken Staib
