Thank
you so very much for your support again this year of the Cookie Sale to Combat
World Hunger. I am sure those who received the trays as gifts were delighted
and hopefully you had a chance to enjoy some of the cookies yourself and
perhaps even share with Santa.
Including
donations, we “sold” the equivalent of 71 trays of cookies. This will provide
26,625 meals to children in Haiti. The trays we did not sell were donated to
our church to distribute to organizations of our choice. After numerous calls
to places unable to use these cookie trays, Garden Spot Village gratefully
accepted them to give to residents who can no longer bake or are without family
nearby. As the thank you note from Garden Spot Village reads, “You made their
day!”
Again, Thank You for your support of this cookie sale.
You
are invited to join a study from Maxie Dunnam entitled The Workbook for Intercessory Prayer. For seven weeks from March 8
to May 3 we will be meeting on Sunday evenings for approximately 60 to 90
minutes starting at 6:00p.m. During the week you will use the workbook to guide
you into intercessory prayer. When we gather, we will share our experiences
from the week.
If you would like to join us, please let Joyce
Hall know as soon as possible so that you can have your book to prepare the
first session. Question, Joyce Hall.

Join the fun as we go Christmas Caroling at Landis Homes on Sunday, December 15th. Meet at the church at 1:00 PM to get song books and carpool, if desired. If you prefer, meet us at Landis Homes at 1:30 PM at the Heritage Entrance, but pick up your song books Sunday morning from John Gazsi. The caroling is always a fun and gratifying experience.

Purchase a beautiful poinsettia as a gift for yourself of someone else and as a decoration in the Church Sanctuary through Christmas Eve. You can order these plants now through December 15th in honor or in memory of your loved ones. Orders can be placed in the offering plate or returned to the church office.
It was wonderful to have two visitors from the HOINA school in India. Darlene Large, founder of this school for children, and Glory Janes, who is to take over as Director for this school, were able to worship with us this morning. We've been involved with the HOINA school as one of our mission projects for many years, and it's always great to have Darlene visit us. She is truly a remarkable woman with a remarkable story.
