Hello, friends!
I hope everyone had a delightful Thanksgiving weekend and is now looking forward to a blessed Christmas season. It is certainly a busy one.
Sunday Plans
This Sunday, Dec. 7, Christian Walk church will be with us to help shepherd the children. Most of the kids will practice for the pageant, and following the rehearsal, we’ll have a Christmas ornament project for them to do. We’ll take pictures of all the kids for the ornament they will make on the 14th. The ornaments we make on the 7th will be sent to Enon UMC as a way of saying thanks for buying pizza once a month for the kids this year.
Sunday, Dec. 14, Morningstar UMC will be with us as shepherds. They are also bringing stuff for breakfast. (A real one, like pancakes and stuff!) Teachers, please note that some of the youth coming will have spent the night in a lock-in. Most of those will be in the youth room doing a program with Rachael, while the more mature kids and adults will be shepherding with us. We’ll have to manage all the kids in the Sunday school area without the youth room that day. Santa will be coming to the fellowship hall at 12:45. The children will sit with Santa for a free picture, get a gift from a child from Morningstar, and then get on the van to go home. Church families can get a free picture with Santa, but they will have to stay at the church until 12:45. The pictures will be ready on the 21st.
Sunday, Dec. 21. The children will perform their pageant, we’ll be handing out Christmas bags, and Bluff Park UMC will be with us as shepherds.
Sunday, Dec. 28. We will not be picking up any children for Sunday school, as we won’t have shepherds on this day and we are likely to be short teachers as well. We may have a couple of kids who are either dropped off or who come with a parent, so we’ll have a simple project for those kids to work on.
Other Dates to Note:This Wednesday, Dec. 3, we’ll have our regular prayer service.
Wednesday Dec. 10 and 17th are work nights, and we’ll be packing Christmas bags. Come one, come all.
Also on Dec. 17th, our parish nurse, Elaine Marshall, is giving a Christmas party for the homeless women during the day program.
The church will be open on Wednesday, Dec. 24 until noon, then closed on Thursday and Friday the 25th and 26th.The church will open until noon on Dec. 31, then be closed on Jan. 1 and 2.
The church will be open on Monday, Jan. 19 for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. We’ll have breakfast, and William Boyd will be this year’s speaker.
On Saturday, January 24th, David Korten will be here. He will also preach on Sunday, Jan. 25, and lead an afternoon session. On January 26, we’ll have a morning session at the church to discuss Korten’s presentation, and he will return to meet with us in the afternoon.
Sunday, February 1st will be Stewardship Sunday.
Mark your calendars now for Saturday, February 21, Leadership day. We’ll be asking all members to come to the church for a day-long planning conference that will include break-out sessions for various committees. We need you there.
Thanks to each of you for all you do to make our ministry a reality! Have a great rest of the week.
