SRCA NEWS AND NOTES

WELCOME to our web page. We hope you will join us for worship on the First Sunday After the Epiphany. During the season after The Epiphany, we look toward the spread of the gospel throughout all the world. What began in a manger in Bethlehem was soon known in the East, from where the Wise Men journeyed. Word about Jesus soon spread, first in Jerusalem and the area there about, then to Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. During Epiphany we look toward our own role in spreading the light of Christ, which has come into the world.

PRAYERS FOR THE PARISH: We will meet at the church townhouse this Tuesday. We begin at 7:15 and end at 8:30. Prayer is our most important work. Please remember to pray for our parish and our community.

ALPHA IS HERE: The Alpha Course began last Monday, January 7^th.  It meets from 6:30 until 9:30. This is a wonderful opportunity to review the basics of the Christian faith, and to reach out to friends and neighbors who are open to exploring Christianity. It is not too late to sign up.

GREETER'S MEETING: Our greeters will meet today at the Branch home to brainstorm and to plan for the future. Please check with Maryann about the details.

WOMEN'S LUNCH: Ladies, please save the date of Sunday, February 3^rd for a women's lunch gathering. The location is still TBD, so sign up early and let your wishes be known!
