Please find the bulletins for Christmas Eve attached below. There are 2 versions. The first titled, “Christmas Eve 2020 (Color)” is best suited for those who view their bulletin online. The second titled, “Christmas Eve 2020 (Gray Scale)” is best suited for those who print a copy of their bulletin as it will save on color ink.

Please see the attached letter and document that describes each of the ministry partners we annually allocate 2.5% of the budget toward to help support these mission efforts.

That is in addition to the 10% mission support that goes to the Southeastern Iowa Synod and Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. If you wonder how those gifts are used, watch the video below or the document attached.
