Community UCC
Come in out of the cold! This Sunday is a Communion Sunday, when we
will gather around the table of our Lord.
It is the first Sunday of our “Stewardship Campaign” when we will be
reminding each other to give generously to support our church financially. To this end, Susan Muhler will be giving a
personal message about the music program and why she gives. Our scripture is about sowing bountifully
and reaping bountifully—the more we give, the more we harvest.
Children will attend church
school, thanks to our dedicated teachers.
We will hear beautiful music, thanks to our marvelous choir.
This Sunday our Youth Group is
sponsoring “Souper Bowl Sunday” asking that each person who comes to church
drop $1.00 in a soup pot as you enter or leave church. The funds will go to the St. Marks Soup
Kitchen to fight hunger in our area.
Members of the youth group will be giving skits as church starts and
during our children’s message.
After church, Rev. Dave Robertson
will be leading the “Beginnings” adult education class in the Parish
House. If you’d like to see pictures of
Syd Bridges’ trip to Australia, he’ll be showing them during coffee hour. (You’ve got to see the ones of Sydney
Bridges climbing on the Sydney Bridge!)
At 4 pm our Confirmation Class
will be meeting in Fellowship Hall, with those who will be their sponsors. (We’ll be done in plenty of time for the
Super Bowl!)
Busy Sunday. Hope it doesn’t snow!
See you in church.
Rev. Rusty
