Pledge envelopes are here and waiting for pickup! Please find yours, arranged by last name, on the table in Farlander Hall. Call the Church office with questions.
 
The Evening Women's Group will meet on Tuesday, January 19th at 7 pm at the home of Lynn Garland. Donna Wiuff will be presenting the program. All women are welcome to join us. We are a supportive group providing a place to share our lives and our spiritual journeys with each other, building friendships as we go. If you have any questions, please contact Mary Lynne Smith at mlsmith@sonic.net or Donna Wiuff at 837-8768.
 
It's that time of year... Mark your calendars now for the Annual Meeting!  Saturday, Jan 23, beginning at 2 pm with a special meeting on a possibly important new program for 2010, followed by a wine & cheese reception at 3:30 and our business meeting at 4 pm. 
 
Help Wanted Running the Bookstore! As of the end of January, Maggie will need someone to help her run the Bookstore. If the idea of serving our Church in this capacity interests you and you would like to find out more about what the job entails, please give her a call. Running the Bookstore can be very challenging, but also very rewarding in the opportunity it provides to serve our parishioners and to further the mission of our church. Maggie can be reached at (707) 495-2494.  
 
Now is the time to clean out your closets for gently used winter coats, hats, gloves, rain gear, and scarves for our Winter Coat and All Things Warm Drive (for St. Andrew's Food Program). Winter clothing items can be placed in the designated box in Farlander Hall. A warm coat or rain jacket is very much appreciated by the guests of the St. Andrew's Feeding Program, who often are homeless or live in unheated housing. Thank you very much. Incarnation has been very generous in contributing to this program in the past few years.
 
Christmas Cards for Crafts: Please bring to Farlander Hall any "used" Christmas cards. There will be a box/bag for them. They are given to A Happy Place, a preschool for at risk children, Littlest Angels preschool and daycare, our own The Living Room and the former London House nursing facility. All groups are most grateful. Thank you.
 
The Flower Chart for the year 2010 is now on the wall in the back of the church. Please sign up to donate flowers on the date you prefer. More than one person or family can sign up on a specific date. You will be contacted before the date for your memorial or celebration wishes to be noted in the bulletin.

Words to Ponder:

All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind.
-Abraham Lincoln
