 Stewardship Response Sunday
 This Sunday, we are requesting that our members and friends come with their financial commitment card for 2012. Making a specific commitment for your giving helps our leadership in making budgeting decisions, and, more importantly, it is a key element in our corporate spiritual formation. God has called each of us to be a part of the work that God is doing in our community and one of the ways we recognize and practice that is committing to take part in that work with resources we have.(If you have already turned in your commitment card- Thank you!, we will have extra blank cards you can use in the response.)

Advent  Next Sunday begins the four week season before Christmas known as Advent. It is the opportunity to pause and prepare our hearts for the birth of Christ into our lives. However, in our culture, it also happens to be a very busy, sometimes stressful time where we attend parties and concerts, try to find the perfect gifts for our loved ones, negotiate family gatherings, study for semester final exams, and involve ourselves with everything that must be done before the end of the year.
Here are a couple of opportunites for you to create some space and intention during Advent:
On Tuesday evenings from 6:15 PM - 6:45 PM in the sanctuary we will gather to sing, pray, and engage our senses at our Advent Vespers.
And each day during Advent, beginning next Thursday, Pastor Jason will be sharing his thoughts on each day's lectionary scripture passages. We invite you to share your comments as well as to how God is speaking to you through the scriptures each day. You can find the Advent Lectionary Blog here. Thank You!

Who's Your King?
This Sunday is the last Sunday of the church year when we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King.
Yeah, it does have a kinda archaic feel to it doesn't it? However, it is also a great opportunity for us to consider just who or what is ruling our life.
We invite you to join us as we close one year and begin another in our life together as a church.
