Announcements and Calendar for the Week of Jan. 1

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

OFFERING ENVELOPES for 2012 for those who requested them, have been on backorder and should be available next Sunday.


Church Wide Fund Raiser for Jan Arcand!
“Without cost you have received, without cost you are to give.” (Matthew 10:8)

As many of you know, Jan Arcand underwent surgery for a brain tumor this past fall and is now recovering at home in Putnam. Jan has been a long-time member of our church and was deeply involved in the Youth Ministry Team while serving as a mentor for many of our young people over the years. We now have the opportunity to help Jan get through this difficult time by offering our prayers and financial support. Jan is self-employed as a mental health therapist and we know she would appreciate any assistance until she is well enough to return to work.

Please join us for an evening of fellowship on Saturday, January 28, at 5:00 p.m. at the Hill Church for a simple dinner, silent auction (themed baskets), and entertainment. A free will offering will be taken at dinner and you will be able to purchase tickets for the baskets. You may also choose to give a donation by writing a check to Jan’s daughter, Rachael Arcand.

We are inviting church members and friends (individually or as a family) to put together a basket in a theme of your choice to donate for our Silent Auction. You will find more information on this and ideas for baskets in Harrison Hall.

Members of the E. Woodstock church will also be joining us as well as friends and colleagues of Jan and Rachael. Please mark your calendar for January 28 (snow date on January 29) and you may call the church office (928-7405) to let us know you are coming. We hope to see you there!

Thanks so much for your generous support and blessings of the season,
Debbie Pallatto-Fontaine
