To serve God’s people during a Sunday morning service is a powerful, amazing and holy experience.

Everyone is invited to the annual HKBP Indonesian Christmas Celebration @GA: Sat. Dec 21, 6:00 p.m. for worship, 8:00 p.m. for the joyful, festive party. Great food, dancing and lots of laughter!!  It’s delightful!!!

Our neighbors at Calvary-St. George’s Episcopal cordially invites GA to join them and the community for their annual service of Lessons and Carols on Dec. 8, 4:00 p.m., 7 Rutherford Place.

Each year we enjoy beautiful music, world class talent, inspiring tales, fun and carol singing - all in the beautiful setting of the decorated sanctuary. Come out and SING the HALLELUJAH CHORUS with us!!!

On this day we celebrate the heart of our faith:  the gospel of Christ—the good news—that makes us free! We pray that the Holy Spirit would continue to unite the church today in its proclamation and witness to the world.

“SO WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU SNOW STORMS… MAKE LEMONADE!!”

The nor’easter arriving this weekend is expected to pound Camp Koinonia badly: 

• 20” of snow, 50+ mph winds
• Downed trees
• Expected loss of power
• Local schools closing
• Trains being suspended… 

forced us to postpone the annual GA retreat for this weekend.  (We are hoping to reschedule soon.)

Perhaps this doesn’t have to be a complete bust.  How about having a fun Friday “retreat night @GA?”  If you would like to meet Friday 3/2 at 7 p.m., to enjoy food, friends, faith and fun, let me know.

We could order pizza.  You could bring a snack to share and your favorite beverage.  And we could enjoy:

• Karaoke (competition of course)
• Corn hole (competition of course)
• And several other new games Linda M. has come up with (competition of course)

If you’d like to “jump in” on this fun, please RSVP… ASAP… with LOVE!
