What makes Christmas Christmas? As the journey through Advent continues, celebrate with us during our annual Christmas Program, this Sunday at 9 AM. Folks are welcome to participate by dressing up as an angel or shepherd. Costumes provided! #elca #champaignurbana
You're invited to a Christmas Cantata and Carol Sing on Sunday, December 15th at 3 PM at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Champaign. Featuring combined choirs from ELCA churches in the C-U area, this cantata is also a fund-raiser for Lutheran Disaster Response. A free-will offering will be taken that benefits clean-up and recovery efforts following this year's devastating storms and floods in Florida and the southeast. Refreshments will follow. Bring your neighbors and friends for a wonderful Christmas concert!

This Sunday we pray for God to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Join us for worship at 9 AM and Sunday School, Adult Forum, and Dwelling Together Small Group at 10:15 AM. #elca #champaignurbana
