The 50th Anniversary Celebration for Our Savior is coming up in a little over a month! Here are some details about that event.
On Sunday December 11 there will be only one worship service at 10am. Bishop Ed Benoway of the Florida Bahamas Synod will be our guest preacher that day. During the service we will both dedicate our new building addition as well as celebrate our 50 years of ministry here in this place. Before and after worship a pictorial review of our 50 years will be scrolling on the wall over the hymn board, thanks to Zac Barringer. This 50 year pictorial history is Zac’s Eagle Scout project.
During worship we will introduce all those involved in our building project: the building committee, the builders and workers who can join us, and our church council.
Our worship that day, the third Sunday in Advent, will fittingly center around the theme from the Gospel reading: “The true Light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.”
After worship there will be a reception with light refreshments in the new lobby for anyone not going to join us for the 50th Anniversary Luncheon at noon which will be held in the Fellowship Hall and a big tent on the north side of the hall. During that time before the lunch, there will be “stations” in the church in various places with posters for people to sign if they were married, baptized, or confirmed in the church. There will also be a table with a sign in sheet and candles to light for anyone who had a loved one who’s memorial service was held at the church.
Then the luncheon, beginning at noon, will be a time of remembering, celebrating and giving thanks for our life together. The menu will be:
Marinated chicken and vegetable kabobs; Marinated pork and vegetable kabobs
Baked Spanish Rice; Corn relish; Apple Slaw
Watermelon Boat and Carrot Cake and Petit Desserts
along with coffee, iced tea and lemonade.
The cost of the luncheon is $15 per individual or $25 per household. This is only a partial cost of the event (with the rental of the tent and all). The balance of the cost will be covered by the congregation. If you’d like to make a donation toward the event, that would be welcome.
Some of you have already picked up your invitation and have sent in your reservation and money! Included in our November/December newsletter will be a reservation reply form or pick one up after worship or in the church office. We look forward to this happy milestone in the life of Our Savior!
