All ladies of the congregation are invited to the LWML Christmas Brunch that will begin at 9:30. Ladies, please come, relax, and enjoy fellowship; take a break from Christmas bustle. The Orphan Grain Train (OGT) will be our mission focus. I encourage everyone to visit the website www.ogt.org. This amazing mission organization was started in 1991 by Rev. Dr. Wallace Schulz, an associate Speaker for The Lutheran Hour. OGT is a national and global mission outreach. We will enjoy a presentation by OGT. Our mission focus is collecting quilts, blankets and comforters of any size for OGT. This is an opportunity to clean our closets or visit one of the many thrift stores. Let’s try to fill the back of Lynn’s Tundra pickup with blankets. Lynn will take the blankets to the Castle Rock OGT collection center. The items will then be transported to Norfolk, NE for distribution domestically or globally, wherever there is need. That’s business for the day.

The fun for the day is a Christmas Cookie Exchange. For anyone who would like to share their culinary cookie treats, please bring 3 dozen cookies, one kind, divided into 6 - ½ dozen packages. Those who participate will take home 3 dozen cookies of many varieties.  

Perhaps the real fun for the day will be the CCHS Madrigal performance that will begin at 11 a.m. Everyone is invited to enjoy this holiday musical treat in the sanctuary. A freewill offering will be collected.
