Won't you join us to celebrate the Good News? McFarland UCC has a December calendar of events that's all about building relationships inside and outside the building. Christmas CarolingSome church members tuned up their voices and sang Christmas carols to shut-ins Dec. 13. Tom Ludwig said the shut-ins are long-time members of MUCC located in a number of locations in the Madison area, including Monona, Fitchburg and Stoughton. Many of them are not able to attend services due to chronic health conditions. “I think being a church with heart means much more than what goes on inside the walls,” he said. “These people have had a long-time connection, and it’s important to maintain those connections by reaching out to them when they can’t come and be inside our walls with us.” Click through for photos!
Our Annual Meeting/Celebration Sunday will be on February 1st. This is a Sunday in which we’ll take the time to review how far we’ve come as a group of disciples and start to embark into 2015.
I have four highlights to share with you so you have an awareness of what is happening behind-the-scenes, and what we’ll be voting on in February: Our Servant Leadership Team (SaLT) has recruited a small workgroup (Carolyn Bell, Tom Ludwig, and Joan Jacobsen) to support the planning of a sabbatical for Pastor Kerri. According to the terms of call, she is eligible for a sabbatical after five years of ministry with us. We will reach that point in late 2015.
The Sabbatical Planning Team has met twice and invites you to attend one of their information sessions to hear about some initial information regarding Pastor Kerri’s sabbatical. The first information session will be held after worship on Sunday, December 14. The second session is scheduled for Friday, January 2 at 10 am. If you are unable to attend either session and have questions about the activities of this group, please do not hesitate to contact any member of the Sabbatical Planning Team. This is one in a series of informational sessions about items on the agenda for our upcoming Annual Meeting/Celebration on February 1. Keep watching for more! |
