THIS WEEK

Dear Friends,

* This Sunday, the second Sunday in Advent, we pour the water of Peace. Curran leads both services, with her 10:30 Message being “Where the Wild Things Are” (because…it’s Curran). We will don our welcome hats as we receive new members, Barry and Bonnie Tanis. Taras will provide Special Music.

At the conclusion of the 10:30 service, we will have a brief Congregational Meeting to approve the 2019 committee and committee chairs, church officers, and members of council. In addition, the 2019 budget will be presented for congregational approval. Afterward, everyone is invited to join in a Celebration of Light and Lunch in Burlingame Hall. Instead of a Christmas Pageant this year, Nancy Ladd is preparing a beautiful simple meal with our young people to be shared by all. There will be a magical lantern procession and live music to accompany the festivities.

Your Sunday isn’t over yet. Come to Burlingame Hall from 5:00 — 8:00 p.m. for CSS’ Hanukkah Party—their annual gathering to light menorahs and enjoy each other’s company, good food, latkes, and more. Adults are $10 each, children 12 and under are $5 each. RSVP and pay at www.shir-shalom.org. Please RSVP to give them an idea of how much deliciousness they need to provide.

Happy, sunshiny day.

Angela
