| | Pastor Scott's Message  Luther said that the greatest gift besides God's Word was music. Music can speak to the heart in a way that nothing else can. It reveals a beauty that can only come from beyond the natural world. Scripture tells us to sing hymns and spiritual songs. Glendale Lutheran embraces this commandment. Get into the mood of advent by bringing a friend to our Christmas Organ Concert by Jim Thielker. It is this Sunday, December 3rd at 3pm at Glendale. Hear Christmas come alive through music from around the globe. The organ will play our most beloved carols and songs, including the Hallelujah Chorus from "Messiah." The ladies of our church have generously organized a reception following the program. We hope many will attend. We've notified JoyFM, Webster Groves Lutheran Home, Concordia seminary, local churches and local businesses. As you know, Jim has an enthusiastic love for God that spills over into his music. The bounce in his step becomes a bounce on the keyboard. We are blessed to have Jim every week, but this is an opportunity to use his gifts to bless even more people. To God be all the Glory. O come let us adore Him.

Save the Date Saturday, December 2, we will be decorating our sanctuary for the coming Christmas celebration. We will gather at 8:30am. If the past is any predictor, we should be done before noon. Many hands make the task go quickly and with an increase in joy. Plan to come and help. |
Angel Tree - Gifts for the Children of Seminarians The Angel Tree in the church is decorated with Angel ornaments with the names of children of seminarians. Please select an ornament, if you wish to participate, and purchase a gift for the child whose name is on the ornament. Wrap the gift and place it under the tree by Sunday, December 10. The gifts will be delivered to the children on Monday, December 11. Any questions, contact Mary Skouby. Thank you! |

| Christmas Organ Concert, Sunday 3:00pm A personal invitation to attend Sunday's Organ Concert. The program has been designed to include every familiar Christmas Carol. Every stop on our organ will be used. The congregation will sing two favorite Christmas Carols. Come, let us adore Him! |
LFCS Season of Sharing Glendale Lutheran Church will once again participate in Lutheran Family and Children's Services of Missouri's Season of Sharing mission, which provides area foster children with Christmas gifts. There will be a table set up near the Church entrance with a box for gift cards or cash donations. Gift cards in the $10 to $50 range for Walmart, Target, or Amazon.com are preferred. Donations need to be made by Sunday, December 10, 2017 (we have an additional week beyond our previous deadline), to provide LFCS staff time to shop and distribute gifts before Christmas. Additional information regarding the ministry and families being served can be found next to the gift card/cash donation box.

| Join Glendale's Publicity/Communications Team ???? Your Leadership Council is now forming a three-person team to plan and implement our internal and external publicity and communications. Team members will work with Pastor Scott to create and coordinate publicity, both internal to us and external to others such as local newspapers and media, for our special events, projects, and happenings. The team will also engage our already well-planned website so it becomes more active. Interested in being a part of this team? Let Pastor Scott or a Leadership Council member know.

Altar Flowers The 2018 Altar Flower Chart is hanging by the office. Please take a moment after church to sign up. An arrangement is a great way to honor or remember a loved one, birthday, anniversary, graduation, new baby, or whatever the occasion. We are using Kirkwood Florist and Walter Knoll Florist. Arrangements cost $40-$45 depending on flowers chosen. Thank you do everyone who signed up last year. If you have any questions, please call Beverly Dixson at 314-822-2899. |
New Pictorial Directory Coming! Remember to stop by the Fellowship Hall this Sunday and have your picture taken for the new directory! |
Women's Tuesday Bible Study Women's Tuesday Bible Study is beginning anew with "Jesus the One and Only" this Tuesday, December 5. We know it's a busy time and could have waited until January 1 to begin, but the first lesson in this study is so timely as we focus on Christmas. We'll start with the DVD on December 5 and cover the lesson on December 12. Then we'll gather again with this Beth Moore study on January 9 where you can "get to know Jesus more intimately--as though you walked with Him during His days of earthly ministry." Please come join us December 5 at 9:15am! Call Carol (822-1365) or Jeanne (821-0522) with any questions! |
Calendar Corrections The Christmas Day service will be at the normal Sunday morning worship time of 9:15am, NOT 9:30am as previously published. Additionally, there will be no Saturday service on Saturday, December 23. |
