NEWS & NOTES
Installation of Officers
	During the Service on January 19th, we will be installing the new officers of both churches for this coming year. This service will be held in conjunction with a special service that day honoring all those who serve the church. All officers should attend this service of consecration and installation
Service Sunday
	On January 19th at 10:15 AM, we will hold a special service to recognize all those who serve our churches. We all have been given special gifts by God and we use them in various ways to serve the church. During worship, we will uplift many who have done so much for Christ ELCA and Salem UCC over the years. Following the worship, there will be a lite luncheon for everyone. Salem members will be supplying the dessert. Please bring a dessert if you are able.
Blanket Sunday
	On January 26th, we will have our Blanket Sunday mission offering. You will find an envelope at church or in the bulletin on Jan. 12th and 19th so you can give to this important mission. Blankets+ means that Church World Service is there for the long haul as people recover from a disaster. It also means they provide support to families struggling against grinding poverty as they seek to develop viable, sustainable livelihoods – wells, livestock, micro credit, and health training. Blankets + also means you, because without you and our congregation, World service could not do this work. Our gifts provide the means to transform lives and communities during difficult times. Please consider a gift this year for Blanket Sunday. It may change your life, and it will definitely change the life of those who have no hope without Church World Service.
