Lutefisk Supper Thank You:  Our 71st Annual Lutefisk Supper has another year in the history books.  This year we served a grand total of 750 meals with 632 tickets sold and 118 workers.  With great appreciation we want to thank each and every one of you for your part in carrying on this truly wonderful tradition.  Clair & Audrey Severson.

Again this year we will be participating in the Ellsworth Community School District Gift Box Program. We will need your help in purchasing the gifts for some financially
disadvantaged families to make their Christmas season a little brighter.  On November 24th the Christmas tree will be up and covered with ornaments which have gift requests written on them. We encourage you to take ornaments off the tree, and then record the information from the ornament onto the log sheet. Keep the ornament with you, purchase the gift/gifts, return it to church by December 8th wrapped or unwrapped with the ornament attached to the outside of the gift. (This is very IMPORTANT, as we need to make sure the gift gets to the right person.) Do this for each ornament that you chose.  
II Corinthians 9:7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.  
Again we thank you for your generosity at this very busy time of the year.  This program is also funded by Thrivent Financial.  If you have any questions contact Pauline Laughnan at 715-273-4942 or Sharon Peterson at 715-273-4255, or Heather Johnson at 715-821-3039.

Weekly Devotional

Ecclesiastes 1:14
I saw all the deeds that are done under the sun; and see, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.
 
“What is the meaning of life?” We’ve probably all thought about it from time to time. People have wracked their brains over the centuries wondering just that question. And the writer of Ecclesiastes was confronted with the same question. His answer? Life is vanity, “vapor,” “chasing after the wind.” Pretty depressing? It would seem so.
 
But he also came to the conclusion that life is pointless when your sole focus is yourself. Trying to make a name for yourself will only be undone by those who follow you. Gathering up all wisdom and understanding will be pointless when you die and you take your knowledge with you. So what is the point of living, he asks?
 
Praise God, love others. This is the point. Life is filled with other people, and the meaning we find in it is to serve others and love God. Sages the world over have come to the same conclusion. A good life, a life filled with meaning, is a life that is focused on the goodness of others rather than the glory of the self.
 
So it may be a good practice to take up, at the end of each day, to ask yourself: how did I serve others today? How did I glorify God today? How did I make the world better for everyone with what I did today? And it could be small things. It could be baby steps. Or it could be something huge, or something building to something huge. But meaning in life is found only when we discover the point of life is to give our love and energy to the goodness of others, and by doing so, glorify the God who made us and who gave us life.
