God Is Still Speaking,

Week of January 22, 2012

Bernie Siegal, MD says in “Prescriptions for Living: Kindness is a Spiritual Choice.” ALL OF YOU, who in your great generosity contributed to this year’s Christmas Love Offering, have made that spiritual choice. The Board of Outreach thanks you so much for the great kindness you have shown to those in need in our community. We exceeded our goal!

COLLAGE, our GLBT group, will have its Fourth Sunday Brunch at 12:30 p.m. TODAY at Square 1 Burgers, located at 1737 S. Tamiami Trail, across from Sarasota Memorial Hospital. No need to call ahead, we have space reserved for us.

TODAY at 10:15 a.m. on the East Side of Fellowship Hall there will be an organizational meeting of people interested in ushering, greeting, guest booking, and serving or preparing communion. We will be starting the process of setting up ACTS teams to carry out these important tasks in our church’s life under the new SOAR structure, seeking volunteers to be organizers of these teams and volunteers to participate.
