Dear Folk,
I hope you all had a very blessed
Thanksgiving Day!
BIG thank you to the Deacons and
to Soren and Merle for decorating the sanctuary for
Christmas. You rock!!
This 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 this Sunday is
Isaiah 2:1-5. The sermon is "Mistletoe and Evergreens".
There will be a meeting
for all members of the Huntington Congregational Church, UCC
immediately following the worship service THIS SUNDAY, December 4,
2016 for the purpose of presenting a draft budget for
2017.
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.
There are 3 tags remaining on the
Christmas tree in the Alcove for BHCare's "Under the Tree" gift
project. Please pick one up if you have not already done
so. All gifts are due back on December 11. Thank you
for your generosity!
Poinsettia order forms can be
found in the alcove on the shelf. Orders are due December 11th.
Women’s Fellowship is
offering Keep Christ in Christmas magnets for $4.00
located on the table under the coat rack. Please give your money to
Sue Lindley or Karen in the church office.
Join us for a 45 minute
interactive walking drama, "Journey to Bethlehem", telling the
story of Jesus’ birth THIS 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 so she can plan on how many drinks
are needed. Hope to see you there to kick off the true meaning of
Christmas!
HCCUCC has a workday scheduled
for Habitat for Humanity on Saturday, December 10th from
9am – 2:30pm, or any amount of time you can give. The work is
fun, rewarding, and does not require any experience. Please
consider helping for all or some of these hours. There is a signup
sheet in the alcove or contact Bob Moseley.
Let us pray. As the days
deepen further into Advent, may your Spirit, O God, deepen into our
hearts, instilling in us hope, peace, joy, and love.
Amen.
In Christ's love,
Rev. Lucille
