Demonstrate your thankfulness this season
Each holiday season, Lamb of God anticipates and relies on a seasonal increase in contributions.
It is through the donations of every individual and family in the congregation that we are able to
carry on our work now and throughout the year.
If you need a convenient way to make recurring contributions or plan to make an additional gift
before the end of the year, we encourage you to check out our electronic giving options. As the
pace of life speeds up around the holidays, you may find electronic giving a most welcome way to
make contributions.
To set up a recurring giving schedule, visit us online at www.log.org and locate the Online Giving button.
Or if it’s easier, complete a paper authorization form and return it to the church office.
Thank you for your generosity and support!
Donations Needed
We are in need of donations to defray the cost of Christmas decorations for the Fellowship Hall.
2 72" wreaths and decorations for a 12 foot tree. This will be a beautiful addition to our Fellowship
Hall! Any amount from $1 - $100. Donations should be put in a separate envelope and included in the
offering plate. Special thank you to Jo Schwegler for helping to design and make the wreaths!
Thank you from the Design Team Judi, Holley, and Charlotte
LSS of the South Donations Needed
We have a family in the Dallas area with two foster toddlers in their home, and there are quite a few expenses they
are dealing with right now. They are actually moving towards adopting both little ones, which is very exciting! Thank
you for considering this family! Donations can be dropped off at the Information Desk thru Sunday, November 30th.
Items requested: • Standard-sized crib mattress cover • Winter clothes for 18 month old and 24 month old
• Size 3 and 4 diapers, and pull-ups to fit a 24-month-old, standard size
For additional information please contact Rebekah Poling at rebekah.poling@lsss.org
Current undergraduate college students or parents
We would love to have your contact information to be able to send you a care package this next school
year! To make it easier on collecting contacts we ask that you register online at our www.log.org
website under 'youth' and clicking the 'college student' icon. We ask that you submit your contact info
online even if you have provided this information previously as we will be basing our packages solely
on our online registration. Please register by Sunday, November 23.
Lutheran Women’s Missionary League
The mission of the Lutheran Women's Missionary League is to assist each woman of The Lutheran
Church—Missouri Synod in affirming her relationship with the Triune God so that she is enabled to use
her gifts in ministry to the people of the world.
Note that EACH woman is included in the LWML mission statement. As you prepare for Thanksgiving, think of all the
ways you have recently "used (your) gifts in ministry to the people" around you. Thank God for giving you those gifts
and opportunities. Pray about ways to increase the use of your gifts. Many opportunities to serve and give are
available through the local LWML (contact Kathie Gerdes) as well as on the national level (www.lwml.org) that
impact God's Kingdom worldwide.
Sunday, November 23, is the LWML Bake Sale and the start of quilt ticket sales. Both of these projects fund the
projects that the Lamb of God LWML group supports such as local Christian missions and LCMS International
missionaries. You can assist by bringing baked goods, selling between services, and/or buying items.
"Serve the Lord with Gladness!" Psalm 100:2
LWML Mission Grant Update
The Texas District of the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) has already contributed to one of the
projects voted on this summer. Scholarships for Seminarians has received $12,500 of the $50,000 grant. See all the
projects on the LWML bulletin board in the classroom hallway or online atlwmltxdist.org. Pick up a mite box from
the Information Desk and donate and pray for these projects.
Families in Need Fund
Many times during the year we at Lamb of God have the opportunity to reach out to other families and
individuals in our congregation and community to fill needs they might have due to a temporary financial
situation. Unfortunately, this fund is almost empty and needs to be replenished. Please consider
donating to this fund so that we can once again reach out to those in need of financial assistance. If
you're able, just place your check in an envelope and on the memo line, state Families in Need.
CCA Holiday Food Drive
Lamb of God will be collecting cans of candied yams (16 oz size) for the CCA Thanksgiving and
Christmas food baskets. Please leave your donation in the CCA collection bin behind the information
desk. Our goal is 400 cans. Thanks for your help!
Greeter Team
Are you looking for a way to serve that doesn't involve a big time commitment? Consider being part of
the Greeter Team or the Information Desk Team! We need several people from both services so we
can rotate to greet once a month. It is a nice way to brighten up someone's day to let them know you
are glad to see them and it is a welcoming gesture to people who are visiting. The information desk is
another great way to meet visiting people or help our church family with information needs. Please
prayerfully consider serving with us in these important outreach opportunities.
For additional information, please contact
Terri Van Strien for the Greeter Team (469) 744-6900 terri.vanstrien@icloud.com
Jeannine Howell for the Information Desk Team (972) 746-8667 morgan_Jeannine@hotmail.com
Lutheran Women’s Missionary League
Every year LWML of Lamb of God puts together kits to send to Lutheran World Relief. This year we will once again be
assembling PERSONAL CARE KITS. When natural disaster strikes or political conflict fares, families often have little
chance to gather their belongings before fleeing the danger. They arrive in a refugee camp or other place of safety
scared, vulnerable and dirty from the travel. The simple items included in Personal Care Kits allow them to wash
away the dirt and sweat, with the fresh scent of soap and the softness of a towel as reminders of someone's care and
concern for them in their plight. We are collecting the following items for these kits. Items may be placed in the
LWML bin behind the information desk. Collection will continue into March. If you would like to know more about
these kits and how they are used, please visit:
http://lwr.org/site/c.dmJXKiOYJgI6G/b.7521989/k.B4F5/Personal_Care_Kits.htm
• One light- or medium-weight bath-size towel (approximately 52" x 27"), dark color recommended
• Two bath-size bars of soap, any brand, in original wrapping
• One sturdy comb
• One adult-size toothbrush in its original packaging
• One metal nail clippers
Attention all Petal Pushers
TODAY
Anybody who wants to putter in the flower beds, let's meet after church. We can bring our gardening
duds and tools, eat a lite lunch, and tackle the weeds in the beds so our Petals can Grow!
Just come--no need to sign up.
