If you want to help coordinate it next year let me know and we can start working on it in August. Sorry to disappoint any of you.
2. Reminder about Christmas eve services:
5:00pm--family oriented service, complete with sheep. If you want to help contact Catherine Anne
11:00pm--communion service
Sunday the 26th, is a more casual day at worship. In between services we will be working on a congregation wide service project in the great hall.
3. We are back in action on January 9th. See you all then, enjoy your break. I'll be around after Christmas if any of you are around and want to grab some coffee or something. Let me know.

Grace and Peace,
Phil
