1. Thank you

to everyone who rang the Salvation Army bell in Brookfield Square on December 6th. It was a wonderful way for our church to have a presence in the community and help a worthy organization.

2. We are moving forward with our program goals!

Coordinators for each have stepped forward!

• If you signed up this fall to help with any of our goals, you will be contacted in January.

• If you want to join a team...watch for meeting dates and more information in January! Everyone is invited and needed to make these goals a reality.

3. Our commitments to God's work.

Thanks to all who have completed and turned in a Commitment Card for 2009. It you need one, you'll find them at the Information Desk.

As of December 8^th, we as a congregation, have pledge $5,375 per month toward the Walking With Christ goals in addition to our support of the church. This is excellent and exciting!
