Greetings!
-It is an exciting time for everyone, especially the children as Christmas day draws near. With all the hustle and bustle of shopping and getting things ready for family gatherings, let us not forget the reason why we celebrate Christmas and those families that might not be as fortunate to experience the season’s joys. Let us not only pray for someone but look for a way to actively help a child, person, or family. The true meaning of Christmas will be made real if we can spread a little joy and put a smile on someone’s face. Christ was God’s gift to the world, let’s share him!
-Date to remember:
December 19th, Sunday Morning Christmas Program- A service of Lessons, Carols and Light
Blessings!

It's Coming...Sunday, April 18th!!
Consecration Sunday Is Coming - April 18th
Congregations that approach financial stewardship from a biblical perspective do not view the money Christians give to their church merely as a way to pay its bills. Rather, such congregations see financial contributions as a way to help people grow spiritually in their relationship with God by supporting their church's ministry and mission with a percentage of their incomes.
Our finance committee has selected the New Consecration Sunday Stewardship Program as a way to teach the biblical and spiritual principles of generous giving in our stewardship education emphasis this year.
New C0nsecration Sunday is based on the biblical philosophy of the need of the giver to give for his or her own spiritual development, rather than on the need of the church to receive. Instead of treating people like members of a social club who should pay dues, we will treat people like followers of Jesus Christ who want to give unselfishly as an act of discipleship. New Consecration Sunday encourages people toward proportionate and systematic giving in response to the question, "What percentage of my income is God calling me to give?"
During morning worship on April 18th, Consecration Sunday, we are asking our attendees and members to make their financial commitments to our church's missionary, benevolent and educational ministries in this community and around the world.
Every attendee and member who completes an Estimate of Giving Card does so voluntarily by attending morning worship on Consecration Sunday. We urge people to attend who feel strongly opposed to completing a card. The procedure is done in such a way that no one feels personal embarrassment if he or she chooses not to fill out a card.
We will do no home solicitation to ask people to complete cards. During morning worship our guest leader, Rev. Sharon Weise, will conduct a brief period of instruction and inspiration, climaxed by members making their commitments as a confidential act of worship.
We will encourage participation in Consecration Sunday events through the Consecration Sunday team and Administrative Council members. Since we will make no follow-up visits to ask people to complete their cards, we will make every effort to inform, inspire and commitee very one to attend Consecration Sunday worship.
Thanks in advance for your enthusiastic participation in Consecration Sunday events.
-David Elmore, Administrative Council Chair
