MOVING DAYS
- We will have two different moving days. December 21 / Meet at 9am at RTS   We will  move some Mission House (things needed for our worship) and all of our Christian Formation items from RTS (primarily the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd materials and furnishings) 

On December 28th we will finish the move from RTS taking all of our items and furnishing from the Fellowship Hall at RTS.  We need some help on both days and if you are able you can email Shelly to let us know you can assist. (shelly@incarnationoviedo.com)



With year end comes the closing of our financial books and to receive tax credit for your contribution all gifts must be postmarked or received by December 31st.  With the move and expansion of our ministry there are many needs and I would ask you to consider gifts to the church as you are able, to our operations and to the Canterbury Fund (see left column).
