If you were at our Advent Service yesterday, you enjoyed the wonderful news our 4th—8th grade shared with us about the coming of the Christ child. We have such an incredible reason to celebrate the season. Thank you, students and our teachers, for this faith-filled, beautiful worship service! Next Wednesday at 4:00 p.m., our K-3rd grade will continue telling us the great reason we celebrate this season.

Here is some news from our church to share with you:

This December, Salem invites you to three special opportunities to connect, reflect, and prepare for the joy of Christmas.

Christmas for Kids
Saturday, December 14 | 9 AM-Noon
While you shop, wrap presents, or simply relax, your children (ages 3 years through 6th grade) will enjoy songs, crafts, and activities that celebrate the true joy of Christmas. We would love to have 7th and 8th graders stay as volunteers! Lunch is available for the whole family after the event! Register online by December 9 at www.salemlutheran.org/christmasforkids.

“Mary” Christmas with the Women of Salem
Saturday, December 7 | 2–4 PM
Draw inspiration from the Marys of the Bible as we reflect, celebrate, and prepare for Christ’s birth. Join us for an afternoon of food, music, devotions, and cozy Christian fellowship. Register online at www.salemlutheran.org/advent-by-candlelight/

Christmas Book Fair
December 6–16 in the Narthex

Finding quality Christian books can be challenging, but we’re here to help! Explore a curated selection of books for all ages—perfect for Christmas gifts. Feel free to stop by when it works for you. (May we suggest before or after pick up/drop off)

In-person: 10% discount on all purchases
Online: 20% discount during the virtual sale
The first copy of each book sold will be available to take home after the sale ends, with additional copies ordered through the church office. For questions, email church@salemlutheran.org.

We look forward to celebrating this season of joy with you!
