NO CHURCH on Sunday, January 25.

Stay home, pray the Collect for Nativity, read the lessons. Jack's session on Hinduism is postponed to a later date.

Collect for Nativity

Father of all wisdom and love,

In whose wisdom we trust and in whose love we dwell.

We come asking you to guide us as we search for a new shepherd for this flock, a new teacher for those who seek,

and for a steadfast companion who will walk with us along the way.

All this we ask in the name of our creator, redeemer and sustainer, one God, whose mercy endures forever. Amen

Announcements:

Fifteen (15) Nativity folks showed up and showed out for the packing of the boxes for the pantry. (Yes - more than the other church!) Thank you to those who helped. Enjoy the photos.
