UNITED CHURCH OF ACWORTH NEWS
November 2008
By Reverend Dr. Peter Howe, Pastor
November begins with an extra hour of sleep and ends with the arrival of Santa Clause at the Annual Advent Supper.
Fall Back – Sunday November 2 marks the end of “Daylight Savings Time” please take time to change clocks back an hour, and replace batteries in smoke detectors.
Lunch – November 19 is the third Thursday in November; please join your friends and neighbors for Out To Lunch at 11:30 AM.
Merry Christmas! - Sunday November 30 is the first Sunday in Advent and everyone is invited to attend the Advent Pot-luck Supper 5:30 PM at the Acworth Meeting house. As in years past, we will be filling Santa’s bag with present to be delivered to children who have a parent in Jail. Join this annual tradition and bring a unwrapped child’s toy.
Self-Care – As we approach winter and the Christmas Season, we urge everyone to take care of ones self and to watch out for one another. Connections are key to our life here in Acworth. If you feel that something is missing in you life: food, fuel, money for needed medicines, or companionship please take time to tell someone and let others know there is a need. The church, and other groups and individuals, are ready with outstretched hands to try to help. As days get darker earlier, and winter sets in may we take time for one another.
