Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf – Dec. Focus:  Cereal and Canned Fruit

Bottles and Cans – Rob McCulloch continues to collect “clean” bottles and cans for Mission Share for this year.  December’s monthly focus items continue to be pasta of any kind, canned fruit of any kind, and toiletries.

2026 Calendars – 2026 Church Calendars are available in the narthex.

2026 Secret Prayer Pal Program – As many of you know, the SPP has been in existence at Lakeview for many, many years; and we are continuing again in 2026.  As a reminder those who participate in the SPP Program are given a person to pray for throughout the year.  Some Prayer Pals, in addition to prayer, send cards or give small gifts to their SPP; but remember, the purpose of this program is PRAYER (cards and gifts are not expected or required).  If you are interested in participating, please complete the SPP form that can be found in the Narthex or you may give it directly to Audrey Blocchi by Sunday, January 11, 2026.  The breakfast to reveal the 2025 Secret Prayer Pals will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2026, at 9:00 AM in the Fellowship Hall.

Christmas Card – A beautiful (and informative) Christmas Card was received on Dec. 10 from Sandy Rogalski “to all at my home church, Lakeview” and has been placed on the bulletin board in the Fellowship Hall. Please take a moment to read the card.

                                                Flowers in the Sanctuary this morning are given anonymously in appreciation for our Buildings & Grounds Volunteers.
