Today’s sanctuary flowers are given to the Glory of God; in celebra-tion of their 54th wedding anniversary (December 6) by Duane and Mary Palmer; and in honor of their children, Allyson and Michael, by Dom and Karen Paone.
White rosebuds have been placed on the altar in Christian love and sympathy to Karen and Stan Boatwright on the death of her mother, Donna Bekius; and to Teresa and Tim Myers on the death of her father, Clyde Blackwell. “In death, there is resurrection.”

Dear Friends, Once again, we come to this very special time of the year in which we celebrate and appreciate the birth of Jesus Christ. In this season, we do our best to reach out and be a blessing to our families, as well as others who mean a lot to us. On behalf of Staff Parish, I would like to extend an invitation to you to share your blessings with our staff. We have been blessed with a loving, Christ-filled staff who often work more hours than are expected or they are paid for. If you feel led, there are several ways to make this special offering to our staff: by check with “love offering for staff” in the memo line, using our secure online giving on our website (after you create your pro-file), or in cash in an envelope labeled “love offering for staff.”
As God has blessed each of us, so can we be a blessing to others. David Ross, SPRC Chair
Family Tree - bring an ornament to represent your family as part of the CSUMC family. Or-
