| Chrismons |
Chrismons are ornaments created from Christian symbols, which
can be used to decorate church buildings during the Advent
season. Many Chrismons were first created from Styrofoam, which
can break easily with continued handling and storage. Diane
Williams, a member of Heritage Congregational Church, Madison,
WI, has found a company which makes Christian symbols from birch
and maple cabinetry grade wood. Visit the following website for
more information: www.christiansym.com
A Worldwide Day Celebrating Congregational Singing
In celebration of the 150th publication anniversary of The
Plymouth Collection hymnal, the members of Plymouth Church
invite churches around the world to sing with them on Sunday,
October 16, 2005, to thank God for the gift of congregational
song, and to recognize the importance of congregational singing
in the worship and life of every church. Please join other
churches worldwide by designating one hymn during the worship
service to celebrate the gift of song. Plymouth Church will
locate participating churches on a world map. If you know that
your church will be singing with Plymouth that day, please let
us know: Jacque Jones, Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims, 75 Hicks
Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201 USA. Historical information: http://www.plymouthchurch.org/our_history_Hymnal.htm;

| What Can You Do to Help the
People of Iraq? |
| |
When people ask, “How can I help?”
Chaplain Rich Koch replies, “Help the children through Provide
School Supplies.” Soldiers and Air Force Personnel pass on
packets of school supplies to be distributed by Iraqi
authorities (police, soldiers, politicians, civic leaders,
etc.). The program thus has an Iraqi face on it, which helps the
new leaders assimilate with their people. This program has
already been very effective in many areas in reducing violence
and creating new outlooks in what it means to build community.
