This Week January 3, 2020

Dear Folks,
 
I hope you all had a joyous Christmas!
 
Thank you all for the gifts, cards, and well-wishes this Christmas Season.  You are a blessing to me!
 
This Sunday, January 5, is the Second Sunday After Christmas.  For our service, we will be commemorating Epiphany.  The scripture is Matthew 2:1-12.  The sermon is "What Will We Bring?"  It will be interactive, just sayin'.
 
The first Holy Communion of 2020 will be celebrated.
 
The Emergency Assistance Fund offering will also be taken.  This fund is for any immediate emergency need in our church community and our community at large.
 
After worship, the Deacons will be de-decorating.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
Every new year, we start our Prayer List anew.  Please let Karen know if you would like to have anyone you placed on the list in 2019 to remain for 2020.  Just a reminder:  for the sake of privacy, make sure you have the person's permission to have their name published.  Thank you!
 
The 296th Annual Meeting of the Huntington Congregational UCC will be held following worship on Sunday, January 26, 2020 for the purpose of electing officers, accepting the 2020 budget, and any other business that properly comes before the meeting.  Child care will be provided.  The snow date is Sunday, February 2, 2020.
 
Let us pray.  O Holy God of Light and Love, may the light of the star that guided the Magi to the Christ Child still be burning brightly in our hearts as we seek to do Christ's work of hope, peace, joy, and love in this world.  Amen.
 
In Christ's love,
Rev. Lucille
