MESSAGE FROM RICKY

Dear Friends,

I wanted to share the news that Debb Tubb, our communications specialist, has accepted another job and is leaving the staff this week. Debb joined our staff team just a few months before COVID in 2019, and was instrumental in helping us adjust to a new communication paradigm in the midst of the pandemic. Her artwork and graphic design helped to bring beauty to our bulletins each week. Additionally, she ran our livestream broadcast most Sundays! We will miss her but wish her well in this new beginning for her. 

We won't be filling this position, but instead dividing her responsibilities among existing staff and volunteers. Because of this, I ask for your patience as we develop new routines and procedures for producing our communication pieces. Feel free to email communications@firstmethodistclinton.org  with any communication requests or needs. 

While I've got you, I hope you are making plans to attend our annual music program, Sounds of the Season, on Sunday, December 18th at 9:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary. Our choir and musicians have prepared a beautiful presentation of the Christmas message that you will want to hear! (And invite a friend to join you!).

Grace and Peace,

Ricky

Sounds of the Season

The music was truly inspirational this past Sunday as we heard from our Angelicas Ringers, our Sanctuary Choir, and a beautiful offertory solo of "O Holy Night" by Jalysa Jones, our music assistant. More great Christmas music is coming your way this Sunday, as we have a guest cellist, Bennett Randman, who will play our service music as well as accompanying the choir on the anthem. Then on December 18, our Sanctuary Choir will present their annual Christmas program, "Sounds of the Season" during the morning worship service. Later that afternoon at 5pm, be sure to come and watch as our children lead us back to the manger in their Christmas program.

LADIES' NIGHT OUT

On Sunday, our youth ministry hosted a successful Ladies' Night Out with over 250 women in our gym for a night of fun, food and fellowship. While we are still calculating, we are on track to bring in over $9,000.00. All of the donations will go toward our students. Lives will be changed as students grow closer to God because of your generosity. Thank you to all of the hands who helped make Ladies' Night Out a roaring success, and for all those who attended. Our students wish you a Merry Christmas!
