1 Sparta Presbyterian Church December 14, 2018 Snow, Snow and more Snow! Hunter Cox and the Adult Chancel Choir have been hard at work preparing for the Christmas Cantata. Please make plans to attend this Sunday to listen to this special musical interpretation of the birth of our Savior. The lovely snow will be a memory by then and travel will be safer. See you Sunday! (Special thanks to Van & Beth Holcomb for the photos above) Name That Newsletter! The Sparta Presbyterian newsletter needs a name! We have a lot of imaginative members and I m sure we can come up with a creative moniker for the weekly newsletter. So, put on your thinking caps and submit your suggestions to Sheryl James at westiedogs3@aol.com. We will vote at the end of December on the list and the favorite will be our new name beginning in January. CHRISTMAS CANTATA Lessons and Carols All are invited to worship and celebrate a miracle DECEMBER 16, AM WORSHIP SPARTA PRESBYTERIAN CHANCEL CHOIR UNDER THE DIRECTION OF HUNTER COX MUSIC DIRECTOR/PIANIST ALSO FEATURING GUEST MUSICIANS LISL DOUGHTON, CELLIST CAROLINE FARMER, VIOLINST Through scripture passages and creatively arranged carols, the timeless story of the birth of Christ is presented.

4 Ten The Advent Edition Ten will meet again beginning December 2 nd in the Fellowship Hall. We will be learning the history of some of our favorite Christmas hymns and then making a joyful noise as we sing them together. The group will meet for four weeks during the Advent season. Don t miss this educational and FUN gathering. TEN o clock!! This third week of Advent is a pause from the penitential spirit. The blossoming blaze with more candles being lit each week illuminates the fact that Christ s birth is approaching, and Christian anticipation is growing. Our first, or Prophecy, candle promised His coming. The second, or Bethlehem/Peace candle, focused on the preparations of Christ s birth and the peace that God brings; this week s third, or Shepherd, candle emphasizes the joy the angels proclaimed when Jesus was born, and the shepherds witnessing of this joy to others. Further meaning comes from the circular shape of the Advent wreath-- a symbol for God, Who is eternal and without beginning or end; the greens used to adorn the wreath represent life and growth. On this third Sunday, Gaudete Sunday, our readings will emphasize rejoicing in the Lord. This week s candle color differs from the traditional violet or purple that signifies penitence and the royalty of the coming King, and is rose, symbolizing joy. As we are aware, happiness is dependent on external conditions, while joy believes in unconditional love and that nothing can take that love away.
5 ONE OF THE MANY BENEFITS OF PRAYER: STRESS REDUCTION A University of Florida study discovered that 96 percent of older adults specifically use prayer to cope with stress. In fact, prayer was the most frequently reported alternative treatment seniors use to feel better and maintain health in general. One-third of the respondents also reported using other spiritual strategies to improve their health, including imagery, music, art therapy, energy healing, humor, meditation and religious counseling. Seniors who prayed or used any other spiritual techniques were also found to have more positive and self-reliant coping strategies.
