Weekly E-Pistle: "Reign of Love" - Sunday at Douglas UCC

11/22/2019

 
Picture
This Sunday (the last Sunday in Ordinary Time and the Sunday before Advent) is known as "Reign of Christ" or "Christ the King" Sunday. On this feast day, we celebrate Jesus as fully human and fully divine. Come join us this Sunday at 10 AM, as we explore Jesus as man, myth, and Messiah. ​We will also be celebrating Thanksgiving, too!  Special Music: Nancy Plantinga.

Last Sunday, we held our 1st Annual Douglas UCC "Groups Fair."  It was such a great success! All of our church groups gave out information about their group and signed up new members. It was such an informative (and fun) way to raise awareness about our groups and to get new people involved. We are grateful for such an active church community!

Please consider taking a request and purchasing the gift for them.

Place the unwrapped gift in the box next to the tree by Sunday,  December 8.

Thank you, as always, for your generous giving.

​A Message from our church member, Jane Harrison:

"Dear Friends, I j
ust received another cancer diagnosis, Lung Cancer, which is my 4th cancer since 2013. For 7 years, I have been battling this disease. Not only is this battle exhausting emotionally, but also financially. I have created a " shopping bazaar" in my home, with paintings, antique English furniture pieces, decorative items, plus crafts, all marked with Sale Tags!! I am hoping that you will stop over and do some holiday shopping for yourself or someone on your list. I am available at my home at
417 Summer Grove Dr. in Douglas, all the time.  Stop over, or call/text me at 516 982-3405.  This sale is on-going. Thank you.
