Mark December 7th on your calendars for a Wellspring work day from 9:00 AM to noon.  Key tasks include cleaning the sanctuary fountain, building a wooden fence around the propane tank, deep cleaning air registers, and bathroom caulking.  We need 12 to 16 adults and teens divided into work teams.

Join us at 8:30 AM for coffee and doughnuts followed by 3 hours of soul-cleansing work and fellowship!  Please contact Andy Houser at 281-638-3359 or andyhouser56@gmail.com if you are interested.

Imagine opening your mailbox to find a bundle of Christmas letters addressed to you from long-ago Bible characters who were there for the birth of Jesus. Mary. Joseph. The innkeeper. A shepherd. The midwife. King Herod. The Magi. How do each of these writers remember the unfolding story? What did they know? When did they know it? How did it change them?

In Season's Greetings, twelve vividly imagined letters from "those who were there" speak to the many meanings of Christmas. Awe. Wonder. Disruption. Scandal. Hope. Whether you love Christmas or dread it, whether you are a believer or a skeptic, the letters in Season's Greetings will speak to you. This Advent devotional delivers straight talk with honesty, intellectual rigor and a touch of humor, allowing you to hear with new ears the old, old story that changed—and is changing—the world.

                                           THANK YOU!

The Congregational Care Ministry wants to thank all of the folks who supported and attended the five Pathways to Peace of Mind workshops that we hosted over the last year.  We hope that you feel better prepared and have a greater sense of peace as we are blessed to continue to age.

We also appreciate the support of Andy David, Pastor Jeff and all the outside speakers who were presenters at our events, as well as Sallia Bandy and Frank Jacks for technical support. And a big hug to all the Congregational Care ministers and Grief Support Group members who showed up with smiles and cookies for each event.

We’ll have leftover resources and handouts, including binders for important documents, at a table in the Brightwell Place on Sunday, so stop and check it out.  Below is link to Pastor Jeff’s wonderful and very informative presentation focusing on grief and loss.
