A Christmas Service in the German Language: Sunday, Jan. 4 at 5:45 p.m.

This year, our German Christmas Service will be held Sunday, January 4 at 5:45 pm. The service begins with prelude music and candle lighting. The service will be led by Pastor Maxon with special music by Ted and Sarajane Williams, harp and guitar duo as well as guest vocalists to lead the carols in German.

Even if you do not speak German, this is a very special service of tradition and beauty. A German cookie fellowship will follow.
If you are able to help in the service, your help makes visitors feel welcomed and makes the evening a success. We need volunteers for:

· Cookie Baking- sign-up with Kathy Mintzer

· Serving as an Usher or Greeter

· Helping set-up and take down Luminaries

· Candle lighting as an Acolyte

· Sanctuary Clean-up and set-up/unlocking

Please contact Kathy Mintzer 610-393-8484, kmintzer1939@gmail.com or Tim Ginder mmdirector@stjohnsemmaus.org with for any questions

Stewardship of Time, Talent & Treasure

Being Lutheran is more than just attending church on Sundays. It’s about building up the Kingdom of God here on earth. It’s about building relationships and building community.

The Stewardship Committee provides a list of activities and groups within the church. We encourage your
participation and hope that you find at least one area in which Christ is calling you to be His disciple.

Stewardship of Time and Talent provides an opportunity for everyone to commit to serving and participating
in the life of the church in some capacity.

Stewardship of Treasure provides an opportunity for everyone to give to the church financially in the form of
a regular tithe. Your pledge helps us plan our annual budget each year.

Thank you for your Stewardship!
