• We welcome to our pulpit today, Rev. David Robbins. May God bless his ministry of the Gospel to our hearts today.

• Those wishing to contact Rev. Robbins for spiritual concerns, prayer requests or pastoral needs can call him at 1-408-310-2314.

• The annual Congregational Meeting will be held on Sunday, Jan. 8, after a brief fellowship meal. All congregation members are encouraged and welcome to attend. (In case of a weather cancellation, the meeting would be Jan. 15).

• The officer elections to be held at this meeting are for a 3-year term. The Consistory nominates for Elder: Ron Mittelstaedt; and for Deacon: Rich Reineking. Please prayerfully consider these candidates in light of God’s description of these offices, found in 1 Timothy 3:1-13, Titus 1:5-16 and 1 Peter 5:1-5.

• Our local Constitution states that one additional nomination for each position may be made by congregation members in good and regular standing. This nomination may be made as late as the day of the meeting. However, it is best for any potential nominee to have more advance notice, so please bring any additional nominations to the Consistory as soon as possible.

• There are Christmas bags for the children in the kitchen. See Carolyn for more information.

• Thank you to the congregation for the following donations:
• Day of Prayer - Missions - Christ RCUS - $250; grand total $1,120.
• Day of Prayer - Foreign Ministries - Reformed Faith and Life - $820.

• We will not have our fellowship meal at the end of this month, as the last Sunday falls on Christmas Day. The fellowship meals will resume the last Sunday in January.
