Recorder success again today — Annamarie Torpey’s message (“Thy Will Be Done”) is posted on the Sermons page! Her favorite hymn — “Nearer My God To Thee” — follows the sermon. For those of you who would rather read her words, the text version is also posted on that same page. Whew! Next week Amy Bingham Kang will be speaking about “Heaven and Hell — Richmond Style.” For an extended preaching schedule, look at the Calendar page.
Change the date — the Julia Child potluck and “Julie and Julia” moving screening event has been moved to Friday, February 12!

Happy New Year!! 2010 is off to a great start with an awesome sermon by Jim Lawrence today, which is posted on the Sermons page (“To Have Successful Failures (Among Other New Year’s Resolutions)”. I left the recorder on for the offertory as well, so you can hear the musical interlude following the sermon (“How Can I Keep From Singing”, arranged by Lorie Line). Members of the congregation will be preaching the next two Sundays. Annamarie Torpey will talk on January 10, about “Thy Will Be Done.” On January 17, Amy Bingham Kang will present her sermon titled “Heaven and Hell — Richmond Style.” Please do join us!

Ha! Another “on” week for the recorder — Rodrigo’s sermon “Welcoming God’s Joy. . .In God’s Time” is posted on the Sermons page. Rev. Lana Sandahl will be preaching next Sunday with the Fourth Sunday of Advent theme: Peace. If all goes well, not only will the recorder work, but she will be able to use the new wireless microphone!
Reminder: Christmas Eve, 5:00, Lessons and Carols (the Christmas story in narration and song), followed by a potluck feast. I “hope” you can come because I would “love” to see you and it will be a “joy”full evening — as the culmination of Advent, we will light the Christ candle on the wreath.

Well, the recorder seems to be an every other week thing, and this was an “off” week. However, Kim Hinrichs sent me the word document of her sermon (“Preparing A Way”) and that is posted on the Sermons page, along with the reading. Rodrigo Marcus will be preaching on the 13th, about the third Sunday of Advent theme — Joy.
Christmas will be here soon! Our Christmas Eve celebration will be Lessons and Carols at 5:00, followed by a potluck feast. All are welcome to join us for either or both events.

Boo hoo! The recorder didn’t work again, so we do not have Sunday’s sermon available, which is a shame, because it was excellent. Our Annual Meeting was a great success. Reports from the President and the Sunday School both painted an optimistic picture for the year ahead. We have three new Board members — Amy Kang, Jim Lawrence and Moose. Thank you, thank you to outgoing members Sandy Westlie and Roland Warthan for your hard work over the past years! Our Harvest Feast was the best part of the day. Good food and wonderful fellowship. Thank you, Terry Lee, for everything you did in the kitchen!

Well, due to “operator error” I do not have a recording of the wonderful sermon that Kathy Speas delivered on Sunday. I will read the instruction book that came with the H2 Zoom and next week we’ll be good to go! This picture shows the special altar we set up to honor and remember loved ones who have passed to the next world.
Coming up: Friday night movie at 6:30 – “Toy Story”! Preaching next Sunday, Rodrigo Marcus.

Woo hoo!! I can now post MP3 files of recorded sermons! So far there are two — today’s, and the one from September 27, both by Rodrigo Marcus. Go to the “Sermons” tab, scroll to the appropriate date, then click on the link to hear the sermon. You can also subscribe to the sermons as a podcast — you’ll see the option at the top of the Sermons page. Another new feature is the Events page. It is now in “blog” format, similar to the Home page and the Sermon archive. Check out the Accidental Dog Show — pictures and a video!
Next Sunday is All Saints Day. Kathy Speas will be preaching, and as part of her sermon (titled “Called To Hope”) we will build an altar to honor and remember loved ones who have passed from this world. You are invited to bring a photo or other memorabilia for the altar. Also, Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend, so you can sleep late and still be to church on time!
