Thank you to Kevin Griffith and JoAnn Kehrli-Merlau for providing the music for today’s worship service.  Also, thank you to Anthony Griffin, Dan Seklar, and Ann Dieckman, our readers for the Second Sunday of Advent.

Advent Sacrifice – During this second week of Advent, Lakeview Church is participating in our annual “Advent Sacrifice” for the benefit of the GEFS.  Will you consider sacrificing one meal during this period, and using the dollars that meal would have cost, to buy food for the Food Shelf.  The past few months have emptied their shelves! Please help refill them?

Christmas Hope (Mission Share) – Family in Need – Unwrapped gifts and monetary gifts due on Wed., Dec. 10.

Salvation Army Angel Tree – Unwrapped gifts due NO LATER than Thurs., Dec. 11.

Communion – Will be offered during the 10:00 AM Worship on Dec. 14.

Christmas Caroling – The congregation has been invited to join Outreach in some Christmas caroling.  We are scheduled to go to Legacy/Willow Village on Sunday, Dec. 14, at 3 PM.  After caroling, the home will provide refreshments and a time to socialize with the residents. Sign-up sheet located on the door of Pastor Rick’s study.

Juliets’ Holiday Luncheon – Thursday, Dec. 18, at Red Fedele’s Brook House Restaurant (920 Elm Ridge Center Drive, Rochester, NY 14626).  Seating for whole group to be promptly at 4:00 PM.  Sign-up sheet will be available.

Advent Devotionals and Calendars are available in the Narthex. Today is the Second Sunday of Advent.  Children’s calendars are available, as well.  Parents and grandparents, please feel free to pick them up for your kids and grandkids.

Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf:  December Focus:  Cereal and Canned Fruit

Bottles and Cans – Rob McCulloch will continue to collect “clean” bottles and cans for Mission Share throughout 2025.  December’s monthly focus items continue to be pasta of any kind, canned fruit of any kind, and toiletries.

Thank you to everyone for your cards and prayers, and to Pastor Rick and Pastor Rose for their hospital visits.  Everything was very much appreciated.   Marlene Morrison
