News for Sunday November 27, 2011
News from First Presbyterian Church
patiently and meditatiely wait for Christmas. The congregation will
also focus on the upcoming World AIDS Day, December 1, praying for all
who are affected. Music will be provided by our string quartet.
Our Adult Nurture Series will continue at 11am. In the Crump
Room the Series “Saving Jesus” will take place. Who is Jesus and what
is his relevance today? Sometimes it seems as if Jesus has been
kidnapped by the Christian Right and discarded by the Secular Left.
Held in the Laws Room; in observance of World AIDS Day (WAD), there
will be a related adult nurture class. Positive Link, an AIDS
management and support organization, will be available to share
information. Jennifer Adams, Support staff, will give us an update on
AIDS in Indiana and clients, Patrick and Angela, will tell their
stories of what it is like to live HIV/AIDS positive.
Market for good is an alternative Christmas market which will
begin Sunday during coffee hour. We’ve all heard about the concept of
“Pay it forward,” and many have read the book by Catherine Hyde. The
Republic recently reported on a second book by Tom Roth entitled “How
Full is Your Bucket?” Both books have adult and kid’s versions. When
we say and do good things for people, we are filling buckets.
This holiday season you’ll both pay it forward and fill a bucket
when you purchase items for family and friends at our Market For
Good. We will have diverse products and your purchases will be
helping Palestine, Africa, and Haiti. Not only will you delight
family and friends, you’ll be filling buckets far away. Let’s all try
to counter the excessive consumerism which tends to overwhelm the
season. Buy a few simple gifts that give twice and enhance the greater
good. Join in the fun at coffee hour for four Sundays beginning
November 27.
Worship begins at 9:30 a.m. All are welcome. First Presbyterian
Church is located at 512 7th Street.
