Dear Friends in Christ,
This Sunday, January 1, we celebrate, "The Holy Name," or the day on which Jesus was marked as one of the covenant people of God and given his name. What a wonderful day to celebrate baptism - the bringing into Christ's Church a little child. Please join us as we baptize Olias Owenya, son of Haika and Ephrata Owenya.
We welcome some dear returning friends to lead our music this Sunday. Please take the time to thank Gil and Jan Siler for their willingness to come and share thehir gift of music with us.
Make it your first New Year's resolution to spend time with your church family in worship and prayer each Sunday in 2012. I look forward to seeing you there this week!
Finally, this coming week we have our first Tuesday Bible Study at the Canodys'. We begin at 7:30 and end at 9:00. The topic is SRCA's 2nd core value, "Church Beyond Walls: Church should be a place where people are warm and friendly, and where people know your name. At SRCA, we walk alongside each other without pretense, seeking to love each other as Christ would. It is a place to struggle with questions and doubts, to find answers and support. All are welcome to join us as we seek to know and follow him." Please join the conversation and fellowship!
blessings, and a joy-filled New Year to you,
Becki+
