One Good Thing That You Might Not Know About
1. We've been given a unique opportunity to reach out to our community! The Canadian Pacific holiday train will be rolling through Wauwatosa on Friday, December 9, and we've been asked to sing Christmas carols while waiting for the train to arrive. Singers of all ages and ability levels are welcome! We'll meet at 3:15 p.m. at St. John's School and will be done around 4:15 p.m. Click here to e-mail Adam Sipe for more information.
Congregational Meetings
Tuesdays, November 29 & December 6
We have two important congregational meetings coming up. On November 29, our voters will be issuing three teacher calls (two for the upper grades and one for K3). On December 6, we'll be electing congregational officers and Board members, acting on a recommendation from our Church Council regarding entering the Milwaukee and/or Wisconsin Parental Choice programs, and hearing an update on our campus expansion and capital campaign. Please plan to attend both of these meetings!
Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and we'd love to have you join us for worship! Our Thanksgiving services will be held on Wednesday, November 23, at 6:45 p.m. and Thursday, November 24, at 10:00 a.m. If you're not able to attend in person, click here to view Thanksgiving worship online.

New Bible Study
Beginning Sunday, November 13
Join us as we welcome Rev. Robert Fleischmann, National Director of Christian Life Resources, as he begins a study of "The Christian and Bioethics." In this Bible study, we'll explore basic skills and understandings for how a Christian can approach the challenging implications of contemporary and future technologies that affect life and the family. By using instruction, examples, and discussion, we will look at ethical and bioethical trends through the lens of Scripture and the Christian faith. Click here for class materials and video.
We are accepting nominations from the congregation for a variety of open Board positions. Positions include Executive Board (Vice President; Treasurer), Board of Elders (Chairman), Board of Education (Chairman; At-large member), Board of Discipleship (At-large members), Board of Outreach (At-large member), Board of Stewardship (Treasures), and Board of Finance (Financial Secretary). Click here to submit nominations online or e-mail nominations to church president Jeff Scheibe at jeffscheibe@netscape.net or one of the pastors.
