Advent Small Group Guide
 December can be a busy month, but a busy schedule doesn't have to control you! Schedule in some time to spend with your church family by joining in a book study. We all need more peace, hope, love, and joy found in Christ.
First, order the book Almost Christmas: A Wesleyan Advent Experience. The United Methodist Publishing House has it for sale on Cokesbury.com for $11.50.
Second, pick a group from the list below and show up with the first two chapters read (if you have the chance). Please email the leader of the group so they can be properly prepared.
You may want to reach out to some friends and start your own Advent group meeting. Please do so! Let Pastor Brody know so he can keep count of how many are involved and support you in any way possible.
Last, be sure to come to worship on Sundays, as the sermon series will follow this study.
* December 8th and 22nd, 1:00 p.m. at SUMC
Carol Crisman
* December 10th at 7:00 p.m. and December 19th at
9:00 am.
Joe and Renee Hanrahan
* December 15th and 22nd, 12:00 p.m. at SUMC.
Mary Bryan
* Be on the lookout for another gathering
with Rocky and Cindy Bennett

Blessing Bags
 This Advent we are going to spread hope, and Blessing Bags is one way we can do so. As we prepare for the coming of Christ, we are to help take care of one another. Loving our neighbor has no boundaries, so we are going to prepare Blessing Bags to be able to hand to people in need.
Each week, please bring some of the items below if you are able. We will then have the youth and any other volunteers put the bags together on Wednesday, December 18th and everyone can take one after worship on Sunday, December 22nd and share it with someone you encounter who might need it.
12/1: socks, gloves, hats
12/8: granola bars, juice pouches
12/15: hand warmers, hand lotion, lip balm, travel sized tissues

College Care Packages
 Pastor Brody recently preached about how each of us are fans of each other in the church and we should cheer each other on. What better way of doing this for the young adults of our church than to send them college care packages just prior to their finals wees. If you have a son or daughter that would appreciate a college care package then please submit their name, address and school to Sue Slattery no later than Sunday, December 1st. There will also be a sign-up sheet at the Welcome Center of the church. Financial donations to help off set the cost of the postage are always appreciated and may be placed in the offering or dropped off in the church office.

Coordinating Our Building Use
Are you needing a place at the church for a committee meeting or event? Please note that ALL scheduling of the building's use must be cleared and scheduled through Julie in the church office. This is not a "permission" issue, but we do need this central location for keeping track of the building's activities (we are thankful to be able to host a growing number of Boy and Girl Scouts this year!). Just
drop an email or phone the office (848-7213), so there are no surprises. Thank you!
