Ladies Who Lunch is doing something different! Tomorrow at 11:00 am, we are hosting a potluck brunch. We hope to see you ladies who work during the week and can’t join our Thursday luncheons. Bring your favorite potato or egg dish or a fruit plate. Don’t cook? Come anyway. Sign up today at the Ministry Desk or respond to the Evite text. Questions? Pat Moran, 650-492-3677 or Laura Meert, 916-412-4650

Our next Communion Service will be on January 3. This will be a great way to begin the New Year. This time we will break during the worship service for the foot washing portion. We will also be receiving the emblems in a different manner by having you come to the front and take them back to your seats. Deacons will be available for those who would find that difficult. This gives us an opportunity to interact with each of you as you come forward. We hope this will be a great blessing to all.

Pastor Wray’s Office Hours Next week, Pastor Wray will be in the office on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Carmichael Church Choir Christmas Program The Carmichael Church Choir will be performing the Christmas Cantata “Behold, A Savior!” with a full orchestra on Friday evening, December 19, at 7:00pm. In addition to hearing beloved carols and original songs, you will also witness the fulfillment of promises about the birth of the Messiah in the firsthand stories of those who lived them. Each monologue and song will take you on a journey – from the longing of Zechariah, the joy and acceptance of Mary, and the courage of Joseph, to the accounts of the shepherds, the innkeeper’s wife and wise men. The world had long-awaited. Now, at last, the fullness of time had arrived.  Behold Jesus, the Promise. Behold Jesus, the Fulfillment. Behold, a Savior!  

Our recent Night in Bethlehem 2-day event was an enormous success! We had over 400 people come through the experience from the community, the surrounding area churches, and our own church and school families. More than 60 families were brand new visitors who had never before been in our building, and the consistent feedback we received was that people were wowed by the event. We were able to make meaningful connections, and several are interested in learning more about becoming a part of our church family! 

We owe all of this success to our own faithful volunteers who worked in the game and craft booths, or stepped in as actors, set builders, kitchen staff, welcome crews, angel managers and more. We couldn’t have built this Bethlehem village without our own Carmichael village. So thank you, church - with a full heart - we thank you for getting involved and investing your evenings and weekend into reaching kids and families in our community. 

I’m so proud of what we accomplished together!  Perhaps someday soon you will befriend a family who shares the story, “I started coming to Carmichael because of Night in Bethlehem.” 

CCK Basketball should be beginning soon in the new year, but at this point we haven’t had a family come forward to lead it. We would hate to cancel this winter favorite for kids and families! Would you consider leading CCK Basketball for the next year or two? Leadership responsibilities include finding volunteer coaches and referees, choosing skills training activities, assessing equipment needs, and organizing the last night’s staff vs. student games. You’ll have a team of dedicated helpers behind you - but somebody’s gotta lead! Contact Pastor Melissa if that somebody might be YOU: 253-261-5043
