Christ is with us day by day. *PASSING THE PEACE Daniel Carlson *PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE AND THE LORD S PRAYER Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

We do. * APPOSILES CREED I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell. On the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy Catholic Church; the communion of saints; he forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting.

Home Furnishings Program As many of you know, we have a relationship with the Home Furnishings Program through our missioner, Randy Sparrow, who spends part of his week transporting items to and from their storage facility. The Home Furnishings Program is always in need of clean, usable furniture for families and individuals in transition. They have particular need for beds, but will take all furniture of appropriate quality, including: dressers, kitchen tables and chairs, sofas, chairs, end tables, coffee tables, lamps, and smaller items such as linens, blankets, and cookware. Please call to make an appointment for pick-up of larger items, or drop off smaller items at the Home Furnishings Program office at 603 State Street Offering Envelopes Offering envelopes for next year are now available for pick-up in the Narthex. If you do not see your name and would like offering envelopes for 2009, you may pick them up in the office.

It shall be our aim to bring joy to little children, instruction and high ideals to youth, inspiration to men and women in the midst of life, and comfort to those in life's later years; and to labor together for the betterment of humankind. Our fellowship shall not be dependent upon identity of theological opinion, or of outward circumstance, or of denominational concern, but shall grow from a common loyalty to Jesus, a common commitment to serve the world we touch, and a common purpose to do justly, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with God. Our ideal is a church of the open mind, the warm heart, the hopeful spirit, and the social vision which ever seeks to express, in all walks of life, the mind of Jesus.
