Promptings, Bring some friends along with you to the Christmas Concert which begins at 5pm today in the Sanctuary. All the components of the CBCFC music ministry will lend their talents to the evening. Advent and Christmas music touches both heart and mind, awakens us to the joy and challenge of the season, and invites us to participate in God s work in God s world. I m looking forward to sharing the evening with you. See you there! In spite of last Sunday s snowy weather and its impact on attendance, we took another step toward meeting our December giving goal. Through the first two Sundays in December, we have contributed $72,570 to the church s ministry budget. Between now and midnight on December 31, we need to give an additional $127,402 in order to position us to fund all of our ministries in the coming year. Thanks for your generosity and thanks in advance for what you will do between now and the end of the month. Mike Smith Family Info IN THE HOSPITAL Jo Rosenbalm - Ft.
