Dear Folks,
A heart felt thanks to all who
helped out and attended our Pumpkin and Holly Fair this
weekend. It was a great success!
The Shelton Clergy Thanksgiving
Ecumenical Service will be held TONIGHT, Tuesday, November
22nd, 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. I
will be preaching. Following the service will be a time of
refreshment featuring pumpkin desserts. A donation of
non-perishable goods will be collected for the Valley Food Bank.
Monetary donations will benefit I.R.I.S, Integrated Refugee and
Immigrant Services.
This Sunday, November 27, is the
First Sunday of Advent. We will be doing something a little
different with the lighting of the Advent candles. If anyone
would like to assist, please let me know.
The scripture for Sunday is
Isaiah 2:1-5. The sermon is "Mistletoe and Evergreens".
Holly and Gerry Fassbender will
be in the alcove after service this Sunday to collect money for
food for the Spooner House Christmas meal, as well as gifts for the
children. Please give generously.
Everyone is invited to help
decorate the sanctuary for Christmas following worship on Sunday. As
the proverb says, “Many hands make light work”!
Pizza and Scenery hosted by the
Christian Education Committee is this Thursday, December 1.
Everyone is invited at 6 p.m. to help get ready for the Christmas
Pageant!
There will be a meeting for all
members of the Huntington Congregational Church, UCC
immediately following the worship
service on Sunday, December 4, 2016 for the purpose of presenting a
draft budget for 2017.
Join us for a 45 minute
interactive walking drama, "Journey to Bethlehem", telling the
story of Jesus’ birth. The Christian Education Committee
will be attending on Sunday, December 4th, 6 p.m. to 9
p.m. Everyone is invited to bring dinner and
meet at 4:30 p.m. in Fellowship Hall. We will eat
together and then drive to High Acres Church in Ansonia. C.E. will
provide hot apple cider and drinks. Please RSVP to Kirsten Keith at
andrew.keith@sbcglobal.net
so she can plan on how many drinks are needed. Hope to see you
there to kick off the true meaning of Christmas!
Poinsettia order forms can be
found in the alcove on the shelf. Orders are due December 11th.
May you all have a very blessed
Thanksgiving. We have so much for which to be grateful! God
is good, all the time!
Let us pray. O God, words are
never enough to show our gratitude to you for all we have and all
we are. Help us not only to give thanks, but to live
thanks. May everything we say and do be a reflection of our
thanks to you. Amen.
In Christ's love,
Rev. Lucille
