Pastoral Care There are many ways that the Pastors and Members of Village Church help one another during the challenges of life. If you have, or know of, a pastoral care need, please contact Liz Garrigan-Byerly at ext.14. In case of a pastoral emergency, please call Care Kits and Hearing Devices If during the worship service you find you need a tissue, cough drop, or a drink of water, please ask an Usher to help you. The Ushers are in the back of the sanctuary. Hearing devices amplify sound anywhere in the Sanctuary. They are available at the back of the church. For assistance, please speak with an Usher. The Chancel flowers are given this morning by the Village Churchwomen in thanks for the most successful Rummage Sale.

10 GIFTs in Testimony - Wednesdays 7:30-9:00 (January 7 - April 15) Testimony lies at the foundation of Christian community. In the book of Acts, we read that Jesus first followers, the apostles, continued to testify and an abundance of grace was at work among them all. Telling your story. Telling the truth of your life. Speaking about where you see God in the world. All of these are practices of testimony. This year s Growing in Faith Together (GIFT) program will focus on the Christian practice of testimony. We will learn to share our story, and learn how to listen to the stories of others. In so doing, we will seek insight into how God is moving in the world, grow in our faith, and deepen in our love for one another and for God. To sign up for GIFT contact Tricia Kibbe (tricia@wellesleyvillagechurch.org) or look for a sign up sheet after worship. Our small group facilitators are also all wearing special name tags so you can ask them about GIFT!
