Services at 9:30 am and 11 am
Just Getting Better and Better
Rev. David H. Messner
The essential question is not whether we humans are good or not, or good enough, but it is whether we are getting better at being human through practice.
Our Worship Associate this week will be Rexanna Lester.
Religious Education will meet in regular classes this week.
Join us for the Second Sunday Covenant Group in Phillippa's Place at 12:30 pm (this is the chance to join this group for the new year).

Hospitality Helping Hands
Hospitality needs hands! We especially need: Souper Sunday volunteers to bring soup on the second Sunday of the month, a second Sunday cleanup crew and fourth Sunday sandwich makers. We're posting a sign-up sheet at the engagement table in Rahn Hall, or you can contact Denise Boehner at [email protected] or (912) 373-3018 (to volunteer for the cleanup crew, please email Roberta Hopkins).
And of course, you can find Denise and Roberta during fellowship hour in the kitchen area of Rahn Hall. Would you like "soup," "sandwiches" or both? Tell us when to expect you (just this month? Every month?) and we will welcome you with open hearts and open arms.
