Due to inclement weather, Pastor Dan and the Deacons have decided to cancel today’s church service. The Deacons are still planning to gather around 4pm to organize the Christmas food baskets. If the weather becomes better and you haven’t yet dropped off your food donations, the Deacons would appreciate it if you could sometime during the early afternoon.
On Sunday December 9th, after worship, the Open and Affirming Committee will present the first of several forums. This forum is called “The Human Face of Homosexuality and the Family”. The panel will include parents with gay children and gay individuals who are active in their church, along with ordained clergy familiar with this topic. The congregation is encouraged to attend as we begin the important process leading to an informed decision about becoming an Open and Affirming Congregation.
The Deacons are continuing the tradition that began two years ago by preparing and delivering food baskets to those less fortunate for Christmas. We are inviting the congregation to provide donations starting the first Sunday in December. The baskets will be assembled on Sunday, December 17th, and delivered sometime the following week. As always, all are welcome to help put together the baskets.
