TODAY’S CONCERNED
DEACON is wearing a yellow carnation, she
will be available in the Narthex after worship to hear your concerns.
CHRISTMAS JOY OFFERING. Presbyterians have long celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ by giving generously to an Advent offering. The Christmas Joy Offering dates back to the1930’s when the PCUS began an offering to supplement inadequate retirement income and provide supplemental medical insurance for former ministers, missionaries, church workers, and their families. In the late 1940’s that became the Joy Gift. In 1989 the offering was renamed the Christmas Joy Offering, and in 1991 the 203rd General Assembly changed the distribution of funds to 50 percent to the Board of Pensions and 50 percent to the Presbyterian racial ethnic schools and colleges.
WESTMINSTER CHOIR rehearses for 15 minutes today immediately following worship, saving a

YOUTH FELLOWSHIP meets in the Narthex following the Westminster Choir rehearsal to go to

NO 4TH NIGHT ACTIVITIES TONIGHT. The Faith & Fiction group will gather the beginning

ARE YOU IN NEED OF A LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS GIFT? We still have CD’s available by Nancy Deeth and Elmer
Fischer. Nancy by Request sells for $15.00
each with proceeds going into the Organ Renovation Fund and See You Later sells for $12.00 and
