We will have a congregational meeting December 12 at 11:30 AM. Those who wish to attend in person can meet in the Sanctuary at that time. We will also broadcast online for those who are unable to attend in person. We will address the following:
- 2022 Budget–drafts may be found in the narthex or may be requested from the church office.
- 2022 Elders and Deacons
- Christmas Blessings
- We are excited to have been asked to sponsor six local families for Christmas through our Madison County Elementary Schools Mission. This is an amazing opportunity to share our blessings, and since the suggested gifts are modest, there are many opportunities to participate. You are invited to sign-up online at St. James Lutheran Church Madison County Children’s Ministry SignUpGenius. If you are interested in donating, but do not have access to the online sign-up, please contact Cheryl in the church office for a list of items needed.
