Please keep Rev. Evelyn Erbele from 1st Ketchikan in your prayers.  Her eldest sister, Ruth, passed away on December 13th.  Evelyn was able to be there with her when she passed.  Pray for all of Evelyn's family as they grieve this loss.

Please keep Bishop Minerva Carcaņo from the California Pacific Annual Conference in your prayers.  Her mother, Rebecca Carcaņo died on December 20th.  Pray for all of Bishop Carcaņo's family as they grieve this loss.

The informational flier and registration form are now posted on the the conference website.  We have also included the registration form for the Winter Rendezvous meetings, as they coincide with the CCCG event.  Keep in mind that the pastor and one finance or stewardship person from each church will have their transportation and registration cost covered to attend the CCCG event.  More lay members are encouraged to attend if they are able but their transportation costs would not be covered.  We want to thank the Tuell Center again for their generosity with this event.  The CCCG event will be held at UMC of Chugiak on February 18-19, 2016.

Every year the United Methodist Women of Alaska put on educational events based on study topics.  This year the studies are Created for Happiness: Understanding Your Life in God which will be led by Susie Smalley and Latin America: People and Faith led by Walt Hays.  The first event will take place on the Kenai Peninsula.  It will be held at North Star United Methodist Church on January 15-16, 2016.  Please contact Bonnie Miller or Jennifer Miller if you have any questions.
