Week of December 16, 2018
To help with our Sunday morning fellowship at St. James, we encourage families to bring in breakfast
food to share with our congregation. This will allow church and school families to give back to their
church family by sharing some tasty breakfast foods. Each week we will gather sponsor families to bring
in food for the Sunday school hour. St. James has typically purchased between 6-9 dozen donuts each
Sunday for this time. So instead of St. James purchasing the donuts, each family can sign up to bring in
coffee cake, sweet rolls, fruit, bagels, etc. Please make sure your donation is in the cafeteria before
the 8:00 a.m. service each week (food items may be dropped off in the cafeteria after school on Friday
or during Saturday evening service). Please label the food items for Sunday morning fellowship.
Questions/Answers:
1. Do the foods have to be homemade? No, you are welcome to bring in homemade food,
but you are also welcome to bring in purchased food.
2. Can an organization within St. James sponsor a week? Yes, we are strongly encouraging
organizations, classes, etc. to support a week.
3. What if we don’t get a sponsor for a week? Then we will order extra donuts for that week.
4. Will coffee and juice continue to be provided during this time? Yes, the normal coffee and
juice will continue to be provided by St. James. The sponsors are just providing the food.
We are continuing the trial run of this donut hour supplement through the end of this year. Please sign
up online at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c094aa5af2aa7f49-sunday if you want to help keep
this going.
SUNDAY ADULT CLASSES (9:15-10:15 A.M.)
WHAT CHILD IS THIS? led by Wayne Luke in the cafeteria (P212). The birth of a certain child two
thousand years ago in Bethlehem prompted a poet in the nineteenth century to ask a very uncommon
question in a hymn: “What Child Is This?” It was an uncommon question because it asked about the
birth of a very uncommon child. What Child Is This? The angel who announced this child’s birth on
Christmas Eve answered the question this way: “a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” The hymnwriter
answered it this way: “This, this is Christ the king.” They both want to make known the identity of this
child. Join us to hear about the unmatched blessing of the Lord’s incarnation.
ADULT INFORMATION (NEW MEMBER) CLASS led by Pastor French in the fellowship hall
(F202). This class is for all those who would like to join our congregation or just learn more about the
teachings of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. For members, this is also a great opportunity to
brush up on your fundamentals of the faith and to meet some potential new members. Everyone is
welcome!
A DEEPER LOOK moderated by Grace Gillespie in Room P202 (green classroom). This group
discusses the Bible lessons (pericopes) which are read in church each Sunday. You are invited every
Sunday, but will not be lost if you miss a Sunday. This is a casual class with lots of interaction. We
pray for each other and care for each other. Join us today and every Sunday.
SUNDAY SCHOOL (9:15-10:15 A.M.)
Every week, we will meet in the sanctuary for the opening of Sunday school. The classes will then
