ADVENT EVENTS

  ·        Friday November 30th – Come and help decorate for Advent if this interests you. We will meet at 10:00 in the Sanctuary.  

·        ADVENT POTLUCK: Mark on your calendars - our next Potluck lunch and Advent event on December 2nd following the church service.  We will be starting the Advent prayer tree, by making origami decorations and writing Advent prayers to hang on it!  

 

Thank you for all your donations of winter clothing and blankets.  I filled the whole back of my car as well as half of the back seat!  

Thought for the day: Become an “I don’t know it all.”

Whenever you find yourself getting anxious about the big and small deaths of daily life—being out of control, not getting what you want, endings and partings—take a few minutes to allow in the possibility that you do not see the full picture. Often what looks terrible today will, in retrospect, have been a blessing. Just allow that possibility in. You do not have to understand or figure everything out. You can relax into the mystery of not knowing.

See you on Sunday!!
