This Week & Next

Year-end donations to the church: Contributions that you wish to include on 2013 tax documents must be in the church office no later than Sunday, December 29, or in the mail postmarked no later than December 31.

During worship on Sunday, January 5^th we will celebrate the Epiphany of Our Lord. We will have communion, and Feeding the Flock will be collecting food donations for Circle of Concern. Current critical needs are: jelly, cereal, canned meats (chili, canned stew, canned chicken, canned ham, etc.), canned fish, toilet paper.

The Annual ADG Book Study will begin Sunday, January 5^th and will be held on three consecutive Sunday afternoons (January 5^th, 12^th, and 19th) from 12:00 – 1:30 PM in the Gathering Space.  Lunch (sandwiches, salad and drinks) will be available for a small fee, and the discussion will be from 12:30 – 1:30.  This year’s book is Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth, by Reza Aslan.  The book can be purchased at local bookstores ($27.00), or ordered from Amazon ($16.36 for a hardback copy, or $11.75 for a Kindle version). A sign-up sheet for lunch is in the Gathering Space. Let Marie in the church office know if you’ll be attending so she can send you a reading guide, and there are reading guides available here.
