Greetings from Swedlanda!
Yes, I’m afraid the attendance was very light at church today, just a few birds clinging to the decorations by the front door. Yesterday, the weather service issued a blizzard warning for us, so the decision was made to cancel services. As you can see, visibility was not good this morning. Swedlanda was one of many churches that canceled services today.
Thankfully, our weather is expected to improve over the next few days. On Christmas Eve we expect to have a special Family Service and you are invited. It begins at 4:30 p.m. Your contributions are welcome for the Christmas Eve Family Service. We are looking for individuals or families who would like to provide readings, special music, or instrumentals. Please notify Deb R. or Pastor Stewart if you have something you wish to offer.
On Christmas Day, there is a service of Holy Communion that begins at 9:00 a.m. On Sunday, December 28, worship will also begin at 9:00 a.m. No other activities are scheduled for that morning. Then, we will go back to our regular schedule on January 4 with choir practice at 8:25 a.m. and worship at 10:15 a.m. Family Sunday School is being postponed until January 11 at 9:10 a.m. Hope to see you there.
I will be on vacation December 26 through January 5. If you need pastoral assistance during that time, please contact Pastor Ruth Edberg at St. Paul’s Lutheran or Pastor Keith Pearson at First Lutheran in Hector.
If you have family members or friends who would like to be added to our e-mail notification list, please send their address to me at ckstewart@hotmail.com
Have a Blessed Christmas,
Pastor Stewart
