Musings Along Life's Way: You are Welcome to the Party!

This Sunday: Potluck after Morning Worship -- World Premiere Video

After last week's missive on change, I thought something a bit more concrete and down to earth might be in order: How about a party! This Sunday we will join with the First Samoan Congregational Christian Church of Santa Rosa for a potluck lunch. After our meal we will move back into the sanctuary for the "World Premiere" of "Ready, Set, Grow," a video produced by the United Church of Christ in which our two congregations along with three other United Churches of Christ take center stage.

You probably remember last June at our annual congregational/community picnic there was a film crew from Cleveland recording the event. They were working on a DVD film that is to be distributed to every church in the United Church of Christ. Because we are a vital and growing congregation, and because we have such a special relationship with our Samoan brothers and sisters, they chose us. We figure prominently in a section of the film that is entitled, "Listening to the Still-Speaking God." After we eat we will view the video and also sing Christmas carols together. It will be a most wonderful event. I am so happy that we will be enjoying this time with the Samoan Congregation.

Make plans, this is not to be missed.

THIS WILL BE A "RECKLESS" POTLUCK. THAT MEANS THAT YOU CAN BRING WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE AND WE TRUST THAT IT WILL ALL WORK OUT.

Blessings,
David
