The DLS children have been busy decorating grocery bags for our Thanksgiving food offering Sunday, Nov. 24. Please bring food items to the church service to fill up these special offering bags. The bags will be placed at the end of each pew. Some suggestions for items we are in need of are:

• tuna and tuna helper
• hamburger helper
• macaroni and cheese
• peanut butter
• jelly

These food items are served to low-income families, low-income seniors, and homeless veterans. Thank you for all you do for ...

Sometimes we take simple things for granted, like a plate to eat on or a blanket to sleep with. It’s a lesson 13 of our Immanuel Lutheran Youth Group will learn more about as they attend the Central Illinois District Jr. High Lock-In on November 8-9 at the Shirk center of Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington.
