Can you believe it's almost here?

Even though we haven't celebrated Thanksgiving yet, the Advent and Christmas season is just around the corner. Since Pastor Emily and her family can't be in SC this  week as planned, they've gone ahead and put up their decorations at home. And she wanted to send you a sand-snowman! This Sunday we'll celebrate our annual Hanging of the Greens service, a time of music, Bible readings, and connection. Please join us ONLINE ONLY at 10:30AM, or for Adult Bible Study at 9AM and Virtual Fellowship at 11:30AM.

Donate Now
Staff Appreciation
Please consider making a financial donation to our Staff Appreciation Fund, now through December 6th. Our team of 5 is the best around, and we want to thank them this Christmas for going above and beyond in this challenging year! You can give online or in-person, just note "Staff Appreciation."
A Very Walnut Christmas 
We are joining 3 other churches to offer a Walnut Street Christmas Walk on Christmas Eve. This outside event (with masks and social distancing) will be from 5-7 PM, and include roasting chestnuts, Wassail, videos, hot drinks, and a live Nativity. If you have animals to offer, please contact Bethel Lutheran. We need your help to light up the street! Please bring in plastic jugs (milk, OJ, washer fluid, etc.) and leave in the collection box in our foyer. We will ring bells at 6PM and sing Silent Night with candles at 7PM. It will be unforgettable! 
Technology Grant
We just received a second round of technology grants, in the amount of $1,000, from the Peaks New Ministry Council to cover expenses from this summer upgrading our video and sound systems to bring you a better online experience! Many thanks to our generous Annual Conference Peaks Sub-District!  

Last week we also received a check from King Soopers for $286.37. You can link your loyalty account to the church. Thank you for your support! 

Meet houselessness with compassion

While some of our neighbors wait out in the cold, the Guadalupe Center and Cold Weather Shelter in Greeley prepares mats, meals and donations. Volunteer to cook or serve, or bring items to the church entry (items must be new): winter gloves, new adult underwear, men’s jeans (size 28-34), deodorant, foot powder, adult backpacks, and snacks (granola bars, cookies, brownies, candy). You can call Cheryl Gerstner (740) 683-4459 for pick-up.

Oh the Places You'll Go! 
A few weeks ago, we shared that Lizzie was gearing up for her graduation, even while still on active duty, stationed in Jordan. Thanks to Julie Cogburn for sharing this triumphant photo of Lizzie with us. We couldn't be happier for Lizzie and all of her accomplishments thus far. We wish her much success and all the good that is sure to come her way. We salute you SGT Przygoda! And we continue to love, support and pray from you from home...
