E-Newsletter for 12/2

Announcements
Potluck—This Sunday we’ll have a potluck lunch following worship. Bring a dish to share! Also, because it’s a communion Sunday, please bring two canned goods for East Brainerd Elementary. Whenever we come to the table to be fed, let’s be sure to go forth and feed others!

Caroling—At 1:00 this Sunday, after the potluck, a group of us will head down the street to the Lantern to do some caroling!

Men’s Breakfast/Workday—This Saturday will be leaf day at the church @ 9:00. Men are welcome to show up at 8 for breakfast!

Calling all Young Adults—There will be a young adult Christmas Party @ The Terminal downtown on December 13 @ 6:30. Come and enjoy fellowship and great food—we have reserved the 3rd floor for this occasion. Childcare will be provided—let me know if you’re interested!

Pray for…

Meditation Moment

But because few labor to die entirely to self, or tend completely away from self, therefore they remain entangled in self, and cannot be lifted in spirit above themselves. But he who desires to walk freely with Me must mortify all his low and inordinate affections, and must not cling with selfish love or desire to any creature. (Thomas a Kempis)
