FOR YOUR INFORMATION

Don't forget to bring "food for the hungry" whenever you are at the Church!! The need is GREAT with the impact of our stressed economy. Christ calls us to serve others with gifts of food and caring.

Coffee, coffee, coffee Don't forget our JUST COFFEE project. At just $8 it makes a wonderful gift

SESSION SECRETS

Did you know that the Session meets every month (well, almost) on the 4th Tuesday. Their task is set forth in the Presbyterian Book of Order. It is responsible for the mission and governance of the local congregation. The list of duties contains 19 items but its most important task is to serve as leaders in defining the mission and direction of the congregation and assuring that everything we do is in support of that mission. At the November meeting, the session set forth guidelines for the coming year. See what you think. The session proposes the following for a statement of our vision for the coming year.

In response to Christ's call and by the power of the Holy Spirit we will grow in our discipleship and meet human needs as we:

Gather for worship and nurture
Go out to share our faith
Do acts of mercy and justice
Invite others to learn to be disciples with us

(Happenings around the Church)

If you have been by the church reccently, you have noticed there is a new roof being placed on the Fellowship Hall. The last wind storms made us painfully aware that the old roof was disintegrating and needed to be replaced. In addition, we learned that a sizeable flock of pigeons had taken up residence inside the attic, raising their young and generally being obnoxious. At the time the issue was being considered, the session asked to have estimates from two contractors. Estimates were to consider 1) replacement with materials comperable to that now on the roof and 2) replacement with metal roofing comparab;e to that on the sanctuary. When the bids were reviewed, metal roofing costs would be more than double that for using material comparable to what was on the building. For this reason, the session decided not to use metal roofing. The contract for the roofing and the pigeon cleanup was awarded to Brian Bohag for an estimated cost of $11,400 to be paid from Kathleen Davids Trust Funds.

Plans are underway to plant flowers along the front of the church on Third St. In the fall, catsclaw vine will be planted along the fence bordering the bank parking lot. If you are interested in providing a "helping hand" please contact Rich Wiese, Pat Dixon or Ann.

You have probably noticed several changes in the worship services. Changes are being tried in the "order of worship". The use of music has changed. All of this represents an effort to enliven the worship experience and to introduce some new elements in our liturgy. We'd like to hear from you. What do you like? dislike? Some new idea?

There are also some additional changes in the sanctuary. A screen and projector in the right front enables us to use power point presentations and the projection of entertainment and educational videos and DVD's. A portable projector facilitates presentation options in other locations in our facilities.

The heavy wooden tables in the Basement have been replaced with new, lighter ones facilitating preparations for meals and other events. New card tables were purchased for use in the Fellowship hall.

You will want to see the new Banners placed between the windows on the porch entrance to the sanctuary on Third St. These were a gift. They were designed by Hugh Miller's daughter and reflect four major themes that define our ministry and mission: JUSTICE, LOVE, SPIRIT and PEACE.
