Because of difficulty finding volunteers for the children’s worship time, school age children will remain in the worship service for the next two Sundays. We’re glad for the strong interest in this sermon series and welcome children being included.  If you have questions or concerns, contact Gina Burkhart.

Blood pressure checks will be offered today in the Health and Wholeness room immediately following Sunday school.

An Intro into Landisville Mennonite: Are you newer to the congregation? Considering becoming a member or just interested in learning more about the church? Then join us for five Sunday School sessions (Dec. 6, 13, 20; Jan. 10, 17) as we explore together core beliefs in our theological tradition, formative stories in our congregations history, and interact with members of the Ministry Leadership Team.

Small groups: We are beginning the process of shaping small groups. If you are interested in being in a small group or have questions about them, please contact Julia Fisher.
