A Note From Kathy –

Changes continue to be made to the confirmation program. We have brought back sponsors. Students and sponsors are getting to know one another. The other week I asked them what they will be when they are confirmed. The answer should be—an adult member of the church but one student answered, "We will be old people, like you." I didn't mind that answer, because, old or not, I am an adult member of the church. My next question was, "What can you or will you do for the church/" Answers ranged from: usher/ communion assistant/ volunteer in the Thrift Store/ help in the Food Pantry/ Altar Guild/ and several are asking about other options.

The idea of sponsors is to blend us "the old people" with these refreshing young people. They are our future. So I am seeking a favor from you, the congregation. Please send a note of support to the students. Let them know what the church means to you and how it has helped you throughout the stages of your life. We want these young folks to feel loved, supported and involved.

November first saw several people participating in a Murder Mystery Dinner. The food was delicious from the kitchen of Chef Alex and Chef Linda. The characters that had parts did a great job and some folks enhanced their "performance" to make it a fun time of fellowship for all.

The holidays are fast approaching and we are gearing up here at church to give everyone a wonderful experience with your church family ... hymns, bells, special music, glowing candles, prayers and the blessings of God. I always look forward to seeing you in church or visiting with you if you are not able to come. Christmas Eve services will be offered at 4:00 pm for a family service and 7:00 pm for the traditional service.

If big services are not for you, there is always Quiet Communion on the first Saturday of the month at 4:00pm. I realize it is not Christmas Eve—but it is a service with your church family.

I keep my flock in my heart ... You are all in my thoughts and prayers and you also know that I am only a phone call away. Take care—All of you. Be Safe and Stay Healthy. May you celebrate God's many Blessings now and into the New Year.

May Christ Fill Your Lives
At Christmas and Always,

Kathy Long, LLM
