2009 Annual Report
If you missed the annual meeting of the congregation, pick up a copy of the report today. Pastor Sue would especially commend to you the personal reflections from Judy Brooks, Barbara Fogle, Marisa Huffaker, Ann McClure, and Sherri Navarro.
How Goes Your Pondering of Your "Star Gift" Word?
Pastor Sue has commended each of us to use the "Star Gift Word" we've received as a spiritual exercise tool all year long. She is also gathering a list of everyone's words as a way to hold each of you in prayer and encourage your pondering. Some folks have begun a conversation with Sue about their star gift pondering via email, on the phone, and by scheduling a visit in her church study or elsewhere.
Thank You...
Thank you to those thus far who have helped offset Knox's $2100 "mission dues" to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). We have received $604 to date in "per capita"dollars to offset the $2100 needed to meet this commitment. Please prayerfully consider an extra gift of $28.50 per person in your household in support of our 2010 Per Capita.
Free Money for Knox
You can help support Knox through your grocery purchases at no cost to you. If you shop at Food Max, Lucky, Safeway, or Raleys the stores pay a percentage of your grocery purchases to Knox. You can also help direct money to Knox through a "Community Smart" card if you shop at Oliver's Market. Please see Jo Ann Schloegel Brown for information about acquiring these cards.
Knox Prayer Chain
If you wish to circulate a prayer concern through the congregation, please call Pastor Sue who will activate the Knox Prayer Chain. Thank you to the Deacons who make individual calls to members of their parishes.
Other Announcements
