ADVENT GUIDE PREPARATION BEGINS NOW! This year Overbrookers are invited to reflect on what this season of waiting means and to share those ruminations in the 2008 Advent Guide entitled “Expectations - Waiting Hopefully?”  Over the next few weeks please consider how scripture informs our waiting. Think about past times of waiting and how they might enable you to find deeper meaning. Ask questions of past, present and future periods of waiting. Then set those reflections to paper – or an e-mail - and submit them by November 2nd to Deb Bowsher and Lorie Ellett so our printed booklet can be prepared. A sign up sheet indicating your intent to participate in this project is in the Church office. Please call Deb at 309-0417 with questions.
