Church Family:
November and December bring times of giving thanks and gift giving. At Senoia UMC it has been our tradition to thank our church staff with a monetary gift at Christmas time. Saying thank you, we love and appreciate each of you is so meaningful at this time of the year.
If you would like to contribute to our Staff Christmas Love offering, you may simply write a check and designate it “Staff Gift”. Your check can be given on Sunday, mailed to the church, dropped off at the church or given to one of the four folks listed on this letter.
We ask that gifts be given by Sunday, December 19, so they may be given to the staff before Christmas.
Thank you,
Nancy Lewis, SPR Committee
Jean Cotton, Lay Leader
Doug Kolbenschlag, SPR Committee
Jeff Miller, SPR Committee

Upper Room Connexion Group
Our Upper Room at SUMC group will gather on Wednesday morning, Dec. 8, at 10:30 in the JOY Room off the narthex of the church.
Each week we read and discuss that day’s devotion from The Upper Room Devotional booklet, as well as others from the previous week.
This group is open to everyone of the church and all you need is a copy of The Upper Room Devotional booklet, or if you don’t yet have one, simply come and join in on the discussion.
This is a stand-alone group, which means you can come as you have time and are available to come. We’d love to have you sitting down with us!
Call or text me, Barb at 419-680-2103, with any questions you may have. I hope to see you on the 8th!

Book Study with Barb
Book Study with Barb will meet on Wednesday evening, December 8, at 7:00, either in the Youth Room at the rear of the sanctuary or via Zoom.
We are studying the Advent book, Making Room: Sharing the Love of Christmas by Ed Robb. This week we will get a small jump-start on Epiphany, which means “Light, shine upon us.”
“The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.” (Isaiah 9:2)
We understand that this scripture passage is talking about the birth of baby Jesus, but we will talk about the ways in which light is an image of hope and healing for all of us today and how we can “leave the light on” for anyone who feels lost in darkness.
Come and join us on Wednesday evening. This is a great group of people who we worship with every week and is a wonderful way we can extend the message of hope and healing to all.
Call or text me, Barb at 419-680-2103, if you have any questions. I hope to see you on Wednesday evening!
