Happy Birthday to Anna Randals and Amber Varsallona!
Yesterday was their birthday. Send them a birthday message, even though the hour is getting late, to [email protected] and [email protected].
We had a lovely service yesterday, with special thanks to Ron Wilmot and Julie Sursa's extra worship leadership in reading. Julie also sang a lovely song about God's constancy through the changing seasons. How appropriate, as the weather has dropped about 30 degrees in the last 3 hours!
So be safe everyone, keep your pets warm, be sure your outdoor plumbing is wrapped up.
- We will have yoga today at noon, if you can brave the cold! See you there!
- Wednesday night we will have a movie night at 6:00PM. The film is called "Whale Rider," a winner of 31 independent film awards. It's about a Maori tribe in New Zealand trying to adjust to the changing world, and the tribe is in need of a new chief, but the chief's natural successor doesn't want to be the next chief. For more information, you may check it out at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298228/?ref_=nv_sr_1 The acting and writing are exquisite. (click for flyer)
- The Elders have a regularly-scheduled meeting Thursday night at 5:30PM. See you there, Elders!
- And don't forget that potluck is Sunday. Don't forget also that we could always use several people helping to clean up. I am not sure if Regina and Jenna will be able to host, so I might be looking for someone to help!
If you missed worship on Sunday, be sure to check this past Sunday's blogpost, where you'll find the texts and sermon. We got creative with the Joshua reading!
Mission Opportunity: If you have a plain (no logos) tote bag to donate to the church that we could decorate and put the name of one of our local housebound members, please send it my way. I need 2-3 of them, which we could keep in the church narthex as a "mailbag" for them. Each week I could bring the bag to them with our church bulletin, sermon, and any special notes or gifts you bring for them.
God be with you till we meet again. And stay warm!
Love,
Pastor Amy
