Thanksgiving Eve Dinner and Worship; the Festival of Christ the King

A Message from Pastor Gary:

"Dear sisters and brothers in Christ,

Special thanks to Harriet Uphoff for bringing the inspiring message in worship this past weekend! Our community of faith is filled with plenty of very gifted people. Thanks to all of you who so willingly share your gifts for the glory of God and the uplifting of this community!

Tomorrow night, Wednesday, November 22, 6:15 p.m., we will gather in the fellowship hall for our THANKSGIVING EVE SOUP DINNER. As I type this, part of the crew is downstairs in the newly completed kitchen getting things started. At 7:00 p.m., we will move upstairs to the parish house foyer for our ANNUAL THANKSGIVING EVE WORSHIP. This years’ theme is “Lift Up Your Hearts,” and our time together will include looking at what we think God is calling us to do with our time, talents and resources in 2007 as we give thanks for God’s blessings in life this year. I hope you can be with us. If you are traveling, may God richly bless your Thanksgiving celebration, and guide you safely back to us!

This weekend is the final weekend in the Church Year, celebrated as the Festival of Christ the King. We have come full circle, hearing the stories from Scripture of how God has broken into human history, and into our lives, through Jesus the Christ. Next weekend begins another new Church Year, with the season of Advent, in which we begin to retell the stories again from Scripture. If you are in town this weekend, join us for our “year-end celebration” in worship.

Let's meet in worship this weekend!

In Christ,

Gary"
