1 of St. Paul s United Church of Christ, Village of Attica ADVENT Advent the four weeks before Christmas is a time of preparation, a time of anticipation of the coming of the Christ Child. The poet Christina Rossetti, poses an interesting question for each of us to consider in her poem entitled The Gift. What can I give Him, Poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would give him a lamb, If I were a wise man, I would do my part --- But what can I give him Give Him my heart! I would encourage you to be part of our Advent worship services, which hopefully will help you prepare for Christ s birth, and what that means to us as 21 st century Christians. Our Annual Choir Festival service will be the afternoon of December 4. Join us and get into the festive spirit! May this season of our church year bring you special blessings! Pastor Judy Excerpts from The Christmas Fund Offering Guide, 2011 For 109 years, the Christmas Fund for the Veterans of the Cross and the Emergency Fund has been a means by which we - as members of the UCC and its predecessor denominations reflect the light of God in the world, individually and in community. The Christmas Fund, one of four Special Mission Offerings received annually in the UCC, is a beacon of light for many who have served, and who continue to serve, our church....christmas Thank You Gift Checks were sent to approximately 900 persons in Of those who received checks, 20 are over 100 years of age. The oldest person is 107. One person has received Christmas checks continuously since The 900 gifts total $270,000. SEARCH COMMITTEE Our church profile has been completed and is being reviewed by Marna Pritchard, our area representative. Once she gives her final approval, the New York Conference will begin to send it out to interested candidates. We will also begin to receive profiles over the next several months from people that are potentially interested in coming to lead our church. We have reached a milestone in this process and I want to personally thank the members of the search committee for their hard work and ability to work as a cohesive team. We have made great progress. Please continue to pray for the Church and for the Search Committee as we move forward. ~Justin Kipfer, Chair

Lynda and Marilyn s term is up at the end of the year. A few people have expressed an interest and we will confirm it with them. Next Meeting January 8 th (after worship) Minutes from November 2011 Relay for Life meeting November 6, Co-Captain updated everyone on the new policy this year. Each person that registers for the 2012 Relay for Life per the national organization for Relay has been asked to raise $100 per person. We are locked in for selling lap beads and Ruth Hopfinger and her girls have volunteered to head this up and work. Need to check if this can be done in the same manner as previous years. We discussed fundraising. Asking for different ideas this year, beside the fish fry and chicken bbq. Coffee hour that was held previously after church, we raised $8.85. We discussed bake sale at the sauerkraut dinner. Any type of baked good or candy would be good ideas for anyone willing to donate items. Please have them wrapped. Susan & Chris will set up. Mary and Chris will sell early and Susan and Ruth will be available also for cleanup. Other ideas that were brought up were: Applebee s - pancake breakfast, Burger King - delectable dollars, Attica Hotel - spaghetti dinner, Susan mentioned feathers for your hair at a local beautician. We are open to any other ideas that anyone might have. Need volunteers to step forward and chair/head each fundraiser. Need someone to take care of the advertising of our fundraiser's as well as Luminaries for our team. Discussed our upcoming fish fry. Dates were talked about. It was decided to do February 3rd, from 3 to 6 pm. Laurie will call Mr. Krolick and set up dates. We talked about sides with the dinner. coleslaw and pasta salad, mac or potato salad and french fries. Discussed tickets, how many we need to sell. It was decided that we each need to sell 8 tickets. Chris Kipfer will take care of the printing and Lisa Neary will do the tracking for the fish fry. Chicken BBQ - dates were tossed around. It was left that Laurie will check with the Methodist church and make sure dates are not the same. We are looking into the month of May. Possibly the Thursday, May 24th before Memorial Day. Memorial Day parade was discussed. Was a good idea from last year so we will be walking in the Attica parade. Paint the town purple - we would like to do this, date when this takes place to come. Discussed advertising in the Attica penny saver. Getting our meeting put on the community page so if more people outside of the church would like to come it would be available for the public. Our next meeting will be December 4th after church. FYI: sales from bake sale at sauerkraut supper we raised $ With the left overs sold after church on the 13th, raised $43.50 with a total from this fundraiser of $ The website address is

' A Picture of Peace ' There once was a King who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures, but there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them. One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror, for peaceful towering mountains were all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace. The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky from which rain fell and in which lightening played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all. But when the King looked, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest... perfect peace. Website Naming We are in the process of redoing our website and need your help coming up with a new name. We re looking for something catchy & easy to remember that represents our church. Please place any ideas in the newsletter box for council to review. We would to launch the new website at the first of the new year! Which picture do you think won the prize? The King chose the second picture. Do you know why? "Because," explained the King, "peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace." and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7 Peace be with you this and every day Author: Unknown Congratulations go out to Kathleen Nolan on a job well don't in the Seussical Jr. play at Alexander Elementary the first weekend in November. As the lion & a fish, Kathleen joined other 4th-6th graders to put on this play. They did a fantastic job!
