GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Julotta
Julotta is a Swedish tradition that has been a part of Alert’s history for many, many years. This tradition is our way of celebrating Christmas. This special service begins at 6:00 a.m. on Christmas morning and concludes with a light breakfast of donuts and sweet rolls from Tasty Pastry bakery. The Christmas service includes special music, singing of Christmas carols, a reading of the Christmas story, and a message or drama enactment. If you would like to bring a special music number, please contact Pastor Dwight and let him know. Thank you.
Short-term mission trip
We are planning a summer mission trip to Nicolas Romero with the Merge team. Tentative dates are July 29-August 5th. We will help the Covenant Church in Nicolas Romero with their Bible school. If you are interested in being a part of this team, please let pastor Dwight know of your interest.
Thank You
Thank you to everyone that provided cookies for the cookie plates, homeless shelter, and for refreshments today. Your time and effort is much appreciated.
Church in Ministry lists
The end of the year is FAST approaching, and I will begin working on the first quarter church in ministry lists. These lists include greeters, nursery, scripture reading and candlelighters (Kindergarteners thru 5th graders). All these parts are a vital part of keeping our church moving. If there is a list you would like to not be included on, please let me know.
