ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL
9:00 AM @ SPIRIT
"Religion and
Politics"
Join us for a lively and respectful conversation
on those "things we just don't talk about"--
and coffee! |
Join Us
for Worship Service!
Beginning this Sunday, November
30, we observe
"Elbow Sunday."
What, you ask, is Elbow Sunday?
Elbow Sunday is the day we ask you to
dust off those empty elbows by bringing a guest (or guests) to
worship with us at Spirit of the Lakes.
As an added incentive, we offer you and
your guest(s) a shorter, guaranteed more user-friendly service. Pastor James
preaches this week--his message:
"Ready or NOT! Here I
come!"

THINKING
GREEN
"I PROMISE TO
CAULK"
We'll probably have a few warm days this
weekend. Enjoy the respite, and take advantage of them. Buy your caulk now
so that you are ready to work off some of that turkey after dinner by sealing up
exterior cracks. Make it a family project!
The reason we hear the same advice every year--to
caulk windows and doorframes, insulate, turn the thermostat down, have the
furnace checked--is because it's good advice.
And it's also cheap and easy.
To see the impact of your efforts, compare your
energy use to last year's. Cutting down on heating demands saves money and
conserves resources.

tree and/or decorations for one which we can borrow in order to make our sacred
space even MORE fabu, please call Pastor James ASAP!
