SRCA NEWS AND NOTES

Reminder: all children involved in the Christmas Pageant on Sunday ned to be at Little River at 8:00. A light breakfast will be served. The extra time is needed to run rehearsal and get 
everyone in costume.

Dear Friends in Christ,

"I bring you glad tidings of great joy"… we await that proclamation each year as we approach Christmas – the Feast of the Nativity of our Lord. This year I dare to make that same proclamation on this, the Fourth Sunday of Advent.

Today I do bring you glad tiding of great joy!

On Sunday our children and youth will bring us the dramatization of the best and most important story over told!

Our vestry is busy setting goals that will lead us in living out God's call on this church in the year ahead! Our meeting Monday was filled with joy and laughter!

As of this date we have seen an 80% increase in promised giving in 2011! We still need to hear from over 20 families. Making a faith promise is a part of our spiritual life, our response to God's call, and it is an essential part of church membership. If you have not put your faith promise in writing, I strongly encourage you to do so.

Our budget deficit for 2010 is far less that projected. God is truly good! He will bless us as we are faithful!!

The Lord is doing a great thing here in our midst, and he is inviting us to join him!

These are glad tiding, indeed, and a harbinger of the greatest glad tiding of all –that God came to us in the person of Jesus. I pray you are moved by the children's innocence today as they tell the gospel story.

All blessings in Christ Jesus,

Becki+
