GREAT IDEAS!
Sharon Soubly and Gloria Roberts, Chrs. of the Mission Committee of Comm. Congl, Lathrup Village, MI wrote a wonderful article in their December newsletter describing a list of opportunities for mission work during the holiday season.  They ended it with, "Please do not be overwhelmed by our wish list.  (We don't) expect everyone to be involved with everything we have planned.  Pace yourself, folks.  There's lots more on the horizon!" 

A thoughtful message...How's this for a bulletin "Welcome?"  "This is a faith-full community of people who, on good days, recklessly love people and live out kingdom values.  We are about equipping each other on an ancient mission in this contemporary world."

Plymouth Church, Minneapolis, MN, has a visiting scholar series, "The Visiting Scholar program was developed by the Board of Deacons' Adult Education Committee.  The intent is, through study and reflection, to discover new ways of being God's faithful people in the new millennium.
