ANNOUNCEMENTS

Bored? Marathon county Public Library is offering craft packages to keep everyone entertained through the month of December. From December 7-11, you can pick up a watercolor and crayon kit to make winter hats, and from the 14-18, they are offering adorable penguins to feed. To set up a pickup appointment, call (715) 693-2144.
Good News will be hosting a Virtual Christmas Eve Service, which will be at 7:00 pm on Dec. 24. We are putting together Christmas Eve gift bags that will include candles and holders, a children’s craft, hot chocolate, popcorn, candy canes, an ornament, a Christmas Eve invitation card from the O’Connors and Knights, etc.
Every Good News family will get a basket to use when you attend the virtual service. There will also be enough baskets to invite your friends and relatives to join us on Christmas Eve. The baskets will be available to pick up on Sunday, Dec. 20. If you know of someone who will not be able to pick up a basket, let the office know, and we will make arrangements to get it to them.
On December 20, we will be holding a Christmas Carol Sing after the service. Remember that Christmas songs are only allowed until January, so here’s your chance to fit in as many as possible.
If you are a regular at Good News, you’ve probably heard a lot of good things about Women’s Bible Study. Well, here is another. Beginning in January, we will start livestreaming the Bible Study every Tuesday from 9:30-11:30 am. Interested parties should stay tuned for details!

Families of the Week
Richard & Nancy Peterson
***
Doug & Linda Phillips
Throughout this week, pray that these individuals will sense God’s presence and continued blessing in their lives, and his direction for their future.

Missionary of the Week
Jeff Tarras
Fellowship of Christian Athletes
Pray for Jeff’s transition into a new role of ministry as an area representative for North Central Wisconsin. Ask that God would teach him the skills he needs to continue ministering effectively, and continue to encourage him through the uncertainty of a new job.
Also pray for Jeff’s replacement as director, Russ Barr. Pray that God would also encourage and support him. Ask God to use Russ’ skills to impact North Central Wisconsin in new and unique ways.

As we enter Advent, take some time to rest and connect with God. Ask that he would help you to remain focused on Himself and the gift he gave us through Jesus Christ in the midst of holiday chaos. Reflect on how that gift has changed and blessed your life.
Pray for the people who are still out of work due to the coronavirus shutdown. Ask that God would use this time to demonstrate his sovereign ability to provide, that he would bless them abundantly.
Pray for anyone who has lost family in this past year. Ask God for strength and companionship through their first holiday season without their loved ones. Especially be in prayer for the family of Nancy Anderson, who died last month.
