“Thanks for the Memories & Looking Ahead in ‘07″
The 23-25 December Advent IV and Christmas liturgies were a joy to experience. No small thanks go to all those who gave so much of themselves to make this season one of joy and communion: the altar guild under the skillful direction of Kitty Clovis; the choir and their consummate director Toni Limbers; the readers and chalice bearers ably organized by Jane Wade; the pageant and other children’s experiences overseen by Bill Saviers and Mary Beth Paugh; and the ushers and greeters who attended to the needs of worshippers.
Too much cannot be said as well for the work and unceasing attention of Beth Ann Wilson as she prepared a number of bulletins as well as overseeing the distribution of food baskets and volunteers such as the ever present and helpful Gay Courtney.

It is especially meant for congregations in transition such as those beginning a search for new clergy leadership.
