Celebrations & Announcements

The end of October brought us the good times of

Halloween and all of the costumes that went with it!

Thank you to everyone who participated. The month

of November began with a beautiful remembrance of

those we have lost in the past year. The All-Saint’s

Day service is always a way to celebrate the life of

Summit Square Residents. We were able to pack 16

shoeboxes for Samaritan’s Purse’s Operation

Christmas Child. I would like to say a huge

THANK YOU to

all who donated,

packed, and

repacked boxes for

this project. It was

a success! Now, it

is on to December

and we are looking

forward to what

the month holds!

I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, and wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

A New Year is Just Around the

Corner…. Are you interested in using the Wellness Center but are not sure how

to use the equipment or even comfortable with what exercises to

Anna about getting started! Start off the

During the four weeks of Advent, we are called

to prepare ourselves for the birth of the Christ-child.

This year we will have many opportunities available to

celebrate Advent.

Daily Devotionals: Grab your own free copy of the devotional

booklets available for daily readings during the Advent Season.

This resource will help us focus on the true meaning of the

Christmas Season with short excerpts of scripture, a thoughtful

meditation and a daily prayer. Take the few minutes to start your

day off right! The devotionals for this year are on the coffee table in

my office, stop in to pick up your copy of Journey into the Light.

Bible Study: Join me each Tuesday at 10:00 in the Wellness

Center Conference room for our weekly bible study. We will wrap

up our study The Jewishness of Jesus by Rabbi Evan Moffic. Each

week, I plan to start our session with an Advent message using our

Advent wreath.

Vespers: Each Sunday, and on Christmas Eve, we will have a

special Advent worship service offered in the First Floor Conference

Room. Join us as we celebrate with special Christmas carols, holy

scripture readings and a message from area pastors to commemorate

this holy season.

Blessings for a very Merry Christmas,
