Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I hope that you took some time for yourselves over the holidays to slow down and enjoy time with family, friends, and God.
There are ample opportunities for ministry this weekend, so I hope you can find time to be involved:
SATURDAY
Leadership Retreat (8:30 a.m. - noon) - for 2007 congregation council members and committee/ministry team chair people. Meet in the Chancel Chior Room.
Chrismon Decorations Taken Down (1:30 p.m.) - Any and all are invited to help remove the Chrismons from the chancel trees.
Ephiphany Day Worship (5:30 p.m.) - January 6 is celebrated as Ephiphany Day throughout Christianity, signifying the revelation of the Christ to the Gentile (non-Jewish) world. This special day is marked by the arrival of the Magi. Our Saturday worship will be a celebration of the Ephiphany, and will kick-off a season of "light" (marked by the star that guided the Magi to the Christ). The trees and lights will remain in the chancel throughout the season of Ephiphany.
SUNDAY
The "Baptism of Our Lord" is the worship theme for Sunday, as the first Sunday in Ephiphany season always celebrates Jesus' baptism. At the 10:30 service, we will celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Baptism for one of the new members of our congregation.
HELP WANTED
The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday (Feb. 21), and we are seeking people to help prepare simple soup meals for our Wednesday Lenten services. If you would like to help with one lunch and/or dinner, please let me know.
Let's begin 2007 in worship this weekend. Hope to see you there!
Yours in Christ,
Gary
