(A German language service of Holy Communion was scheduled for this afternoon, but it was cancelled becasue of the weather and traveling conditions. As one member of the congregation said to me, "Better safe than sorry!")

On this Sunday
of Christ the King, we read the account of Jesus on the Cross. It doesn’t appear as a very triumphant
picture. But remember the words of Paul:
When
I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come proclaiming the mystery of
God to you in lofty words or wisdom. For
I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. (1Cor.
2:1-2) and May I never boast of anything
except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been
crucified to me, and I to the world. (Gal. 6:14)
We welcome Paul Bodkin as our minister of music again today
and look forward to enjoying his musical talents.
Welcome!
Everyone is
invited to stay for fellowship after the service.
We pray today for all
the sick in our congregation, especially Colin and Elfriede Hayes, Else
Kalmbach and her son, Nancy Mayberry, Hilda Moritz, George Simonis and John
Weninger. May God grant all of them His
healing grace in Jesus Christ. Amen.
Offering
Envelopes - Everyone has unnumbered envelopes, so please remember to put your name, date
and donation amount on the front of each envelope so you get credit for your donations. If you need more envelopes, there are some in
the Fellowship Hall.
PAR
– Pre-Authorized Remittance – Your
church needs you! Signing up for PAR
allows you to make donations on a monthly basis even if you’re not in
church. Application forms are available
on the table in the Fellowship Hall. All
you have to do is complete the form, attach a VOID cheque and put it in the
offering plate or in the church office.
Communion
Cards are required to be completed once per year per person. If you
have not completed one yet this year, please ask the usher for one.
Our deepest
sympathies go out to George & Astrid Simonis and family in the passing of
Astrid’s mother. Even in their sorrow,
may they know the comfort of the Lord's Resurrection and the church's prayers.

Bible Study – November 30 – December 21
St. John's and Trinity will hold another Adult Study for four weeks
beginning on November 30th and ending December 21st. The topic will be "The Symbols of
Advent" and will be a way to prepare for the celebration of Jesus' birth
in the celebration of Christmas. We'll
look at the Church's symbols and practices particular to the season of Advent,
such as colours, the Advent Wreath, the Christmas Tree, and the Nativity scene,
among others. As before, the study will
begin at 12 noon each day at Trinity and the participants are invited to bring
a lunch. Again, the exact place of each
gathering will be announced shortly.
Hats &
Mitts & Socks For Kids
Some children go to
school without hats, mittens and socks.
Let’s help keep the children warm this winter! Donations of children’s hats, mittens/gloves,
socks (store bought or hand-made) will be accepted during Advent. There will be a Christmas tree in the
Fellowship Hall to decorate with donated hats, mitts and socks.
Aylmer
Optimist Toy Drive
Every year, the Aylmer
Optimists collect new toys for children, up to age 15, for Christmas. Let’s help make Christmas special for some
area boys and girls. Unwrapped, new toys
can be left under the Christmas tree in the Fellowship Hall during Advent.
Poinsettia
Flowers are
being made available at the price of $10.00 for a 6-inch pot. The price covers the flower with a bit left
over to be donated to the Church. The
sign-up sheet may be found in the Fellowship Hall or with Beth or Pastor John. The last day to order is December 18. They will be available to take home after the
Christmas Eve service or on the following Sunday.
LCW Christmas
