Happy New Year everyone! Can you believe it's 2012! With the introduction of this New Year, we have many things to be thankful for. One of the things I am so very thankful for is our congregation. You all have been through so much, and your loyalty is humbling.

With this in mind, it is also time to talk about our planning and finances for our future. So, one week from this Sunday, on January 22nd, we will have a luncheon meeting where we will discuss our congregation finances and answer any questions you may have regarding our current financial status, income, or investments. We will also talk about the goals we are setting with the money that we currently have.

The sermon on that day will be much shorter so we can start the meal and meeting between 2:30-2:45pm. We will be serving lasagna, salad and rolls.

So, mark it on your calendars, Sunday, January 22nd. Hope to see you all there. Until next time, Pastor Mark
