Dear Friends in Faith—
Merry Christmas to all! Wishing everyone a special holiday and some rest after a busy month!
This Sunday, December 31, Jim Guida will be leading our worship service and preaching. His sermon is entitled, "Lighting the Way,” and the scripture will be from John 1:1-8.
Natalya begins playing our “gathering music” at 10:20 a.m. You can also join virtually here: Facebook Live. More details about worship can be found here.
Volunteers are needed at 10 a.m. on Thursday, December 28 to help take down the candleabras. Jim Guida will be leading the effort but please lend him a helping hand!
We'll be celebrating Epiphany (Three Kings Day) on Sunday, January 7; you'll also receive your "star word" for the year.
Mary Harbison's memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 27 at 2 p.m. More details to follow.
As a church family, we are a community that is committed to caring for one another. One of the ways that we can support one another, loved ones and strangers, near and far, is to offer our prayers on their behalf. We share our prayers because we care for one another, and we know that God listens and cares for all of God's children. If you have a joy or concern to share, please let me know; and if it is a confidential matter, please be sure to let them know. And don't forget that we have a prayer team who is committed to praying for any and all prayer concerns that come forward. You can reach out to Barbara Greene with your prayer concerns and she'll share them with the prayer team.
Prayers for a safe holiday season for everyone.
Prayers for our shut-ins and members who are ill.
Prayers for peace in Gaza and throughout the Middle East.
Hear our prayers, O Lord!
Peace to all.
—Jesse
