Announcements
We hope you can join us
at the parsonage for our Christmas Tea between 2 and 5 pm this afternoon. It’s
a time for our family to express the love and appreciation we feel to all of
you who mean so much to us. Feel free to stop by for favorite holiday foods
with good friends. We look forward to sharing this special time with you.

In an effort to reduce the cost of heating the church building, the
Church Board again recommends meeting for worship in the Adult Sunday School
Classroom during the coldest winter months. We are tentatively planning to hold
our first worship service downstairs in the “Winter Chapel” on Dec. 30th
at our regular time of 10:45 am. Thank you for your understanding in this
important matter.
--The Church Board
The church’s financial statements for October and
November 2018 are posted for review in the office above the copier.
Sympathies go out to the familly of Lucille
Minekime, who died on Tuesday in Syracuse. Her funeral will be held here after
the holidays. Details to follow.
Be praying with the Nominating Committee as it
works to prepare a slate of candidates to be considered for office at the
Annual Meeting in February 2019. To submit names, see Olive, Fred, or Derek.
Our Christmas Project this year is the Eden/North
Collins Food Pantry. Make a donation in the basket in the back and hang an
ornament on the tree!
Don’t forget to silence your devices.
