ISSUE 24 PAGE 2

Bites of Bread from Bob This fall we studied the book of First Corin-thians. That is why I thought this version of the 13th chapter is so appropriate for this year. “ If I decorate my house perfectly with plaid bows, strands of twinkling lights and shiny balls but do not show love to my family, I'm just another decorator.

If I slave away in the kitchen, baking dozens of Christmas cookies, preparing gourmet meals and ar-ranging a beautifully adorned table at mealtime but do not show love to my family, I'm just another cook.

If I work at the soup kitchen, carol in the nursing home and give all that I have to charity but do not show love to my family, it profits me nothing.

If I trim the spruce with shimmering angels and cro-cheted snowflakes, attend a myriad of holiday parties and sing in the choir's cantata but do not focus on Christ, I have missed the point.

Love stops the cooking to hug the child. Love sets aside the decorating to kiss the husband. Love is kind, though harried and tired. Love doesn't envy another's home that has coordi-nated Christmas china and table linens. Love doesn't yell at the kids to get out of the way, but is thankful they are there to be in the way. Love doesn't give only to those who are able to give in return but rejoices in giving to those who can't. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

Video games will break, pearl necklaces will be lost, golf clubs will rust... but giving the gift of love will endure.” Author unknown God Bless, Pastor Bob Sunday Sermons

Pastor Bob Hanna

December 22– 8:30, 9:30 and 11:00 am (Fourth Sunday of Advent) Matthew 1: 18 - 21 & Luke 2:4-7: “Receive Him.” Aside from Adam and Eve, Mary and Joseph are probably the best known couple in history. What was it like to be the parents of the Christ child?

December 29– 10:00 am Combined Worship Matthew 2:7-12: “Seek Him.” The Magi brought gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. We will look at the gift our congregation has brought to Christ in 2013.

Church Voting Report At the Special Board Meeting on December 8, 2013, the newly Bylaws were accepted with 37 “Yes” votes and 1 “No” vote.

At the Congregational Meetings on December 15, 2013, the newly Restated Articles of Incorporation were accepted with 106 “Yes” votes and 10 “No” votes.

The newly revised Constitution was accepted with 104 “Yes” votes and 12 “No” votes.

If you have additional questions on these three documents, please contact the governance committee: David Holler, Rick Ikeda, Susan Latham, Doug Parham or Bob Hanna.

Prayer Party Tuesday, December 31 1:30 pm in the Chapel

We are gathering in the Chapel where we will enjoy Israeli music, nibbles, and grape punch. You will have the opportunity to place your personal prayer requests on the Chapel WESTERN WALL, lift up requests for 2014 for our church body, have quiet time in the presence of God and wonderful fellowship with your church family.

At 1:55 pm we will begin our prayer time, as at 2:00 pm it will be midnight in Israel, thus the hour for our celebration. This timing was chosen so you are able to take your “lunch hour” from work to bring in the New Year in prayer, and still be home before it becomes dark.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Allison in the church office.

Thank You If there is debate about the true meaning of Christ-mas, it has ended. If you have someone bewildered by what it's all about, give them Virginia Krebs' phone number. There was such warmth, generosity, and truth in her short talk on Sunday morning that my heart was in my throat. Then she came and sat right by me while I was still incapable of speech, so I failed to tell her how she had so raised my spirits.

It was that kind of Sunday. I was broadsided first step into the Sanctuary by the beauty of the carol and enhanced beauty of Marilyn Reischke’s interpreta-tion. I sat, head down, unexpectedly undone by the power of music. Then Virginia Krebs explained to me why the weight of commercial endeavor cannot ever tarnish the goodness of Christmas.

Lots of petty distractions and complaints have given me excuse to miss some Sundays lately. I am glad I was able to be with this family on Sunday.

Merry Christmas! Don Vowell

Children and Youth A Little Light from Laurie Thank you to all who shared in the special Christmas message presented by our children on Sunday. Aloha Christmas was a lot of fun. I am really proud of our children for doing such a great job with only one rehearsal.

I am very thankful for our directors and all the time and energy they invested in our children. Christine Sinibaldi and Judy Dyer make a great directing team, not only getting the kids involved but working out all the production details.

Kim Resch worked with the Cherubs (our 3-6 year olds), teaching them their song and loving them along the way. We had wonderfully talented adult actors who helped our children present the Christmas mes-sage. People dropped off Hawaiian decorations and even surfboards (which need to vacate my office, by the way). Our sound and light guys did a great job, as well as our 6th grade, cool “wise people,” who also served as stage hands.

Nancy Stebbins baked most of the brownies and cookies for our “Happy Birthday, Jesus” party after-wards. Beth Manzo, Carole Adams and Joan Behen set out the goodies and cleaned up before I could even get back down to do it.

It’s great working with such gifted people. Thank you everyone, especially our beautiful children.

Merry Christmas! Laurie Dyer

Ramblings from Riane We celebrated the sounds of the season by Christmas caroling. Thank you to all the youth and their fami-lies who helped spread Christmas cheer!

The youth Christmas party is Sunday, December 22, during Sunday School at 11:00 am in the youth room. The youth voted to have a gift card gift exchange this year. Bring a wrapped $10 gift card to the party. In addition to the youth Christmas party, we are making gifts for our families for Christmas during youth group time.

Thank you, Julie Towery, for providing lunch for the youth last Sunday and “thank you” to Laurie Dyer for volunteering to bring lunch this Sunday. If you are interested in providing lunch for the youth, see the sign-up sheet at the Information Center or you can contact me directly. It is a wonderful way to connect with the youth.

Snow Rally is a youth event for those in high school and it is taking place January 17-19. Forms have been handed out to the youth and are due back no later than January 5.

This past week, the youth focused on Mary’s journey during the Christmas season. They learned about the fears Mary faced but how her faith in God’s plan was greater. Oftentimes, things do not go according to our plan, but that is because God has a better one. During the busy holiday season, when the unexpected happens and things do not go as intended, remember it is God’s plan that is prevailing.

Blessings, Riane Towery

STRENGTHENING FAMILIES This program is designed to help strengthen family relationships through better communication for families of 7 year olds to high school youth. We are holding a Strengthening Families event and free dinner on Sunday, January 12, at 6:00 pm. Childcare for children under 7 is being provided.

RSVP by Sunday, January 5, so we know how much food and materials to provide. We hope to see you there. For more information, please call 503-363-9273.
