Dear Folks,
I do hope you all had a very
happy Christmas and New Year's Day! 2016 is here!
This Sunday, January 3, we will
be celebrating the first Holy Communion of the year. The
scripture is Matthew 2:1-12. The sermon is "Gifts".
Our final Open and Affirming
event will be after worship on Sunday, January 10. This is
will a summary of our process and the review of our ONA statement,
which I will be sending out next week. Please be there.
On January 17, we will be taking
an offering for Unity Hill United Church of Christ's mission trip
to Haiti. The participants will be assisting "Haitian Helping
Hands", an organization focused on helping the people of Haiti
through rebuilding a sponsored church, educating children through
the Cornerstone School, and legally marrying couples who cannot
afford a wedding.
Let us pray. O God of all
beginnings, may this new year be contain more peace, more justice,
more love, more compassion, and less violence, less prejudice, less
greed, less fear. Amen.
In Christ's love,
Rev. Lucille
