The Altar Guild is getting ready for 2020. As in the past, an altar flower sign-up sheet will be posted in the Narthex on Sunday December 1st and will remain until Sunday, December 29th. Many times, members wish to provide the altar flowers in memory of loved ones or in honor of anniversaries, birthdays and other special occasions. If there is a particular Sunday YOU would like to furnish the altar flowers for the worship service, please indicate your choice by signing up for that Sunday. PLEASE NOTE: During Advent only one vase of flowers is needed. Also remember that artificial flowers are not used for altar flower arrangements.

Don’t forget our congregational meeting on December 1st to pick Council Representatives and approve the 2020 Budget.

Our current membership roster will be in the Narthex window from Sunday, December 1st until Sunday, December 29th. Please take a few minutes to check your household entry and indicate changes, corrections and/or additions that need to be made. We especially need to know if you no longer have a land line and if your cell number, email and mailing addresses are correct. You can make changes in the posted roster, indicate changes on the Friendship Register sheet, complete a change of address card or call the church office. Our Ministry Teams and Auxiliary Groups use the information from the roster to ensure everyone is made aware of important happenings at St. Jacob’s. Thank-You for taking the time to help keep our church roster and membership records accurate and up-to-date.
