Page at Coulwood. All ladies of the church are invited. 2011 Heart Sisters will be revealed. Please bring your
Heart Sister's gift to the party. If you were not in the Heart Sister program, please bring a wrapped gift to
exchange (around $15.00). If you plan on attending, please register on the sign up sheet in the narthex. (The
original date has been changed so if you previously signed up for the party, please sign up again.)
Hope Is Born–Emmanuel!—Emmanuel – God with us! What an amazing concept that the God who created
Heaven, Earth, time, you and me would assume human form and limit himself to what we can understand so
we can know how much He loves us!! Just knowing that God loves us gives us the hope we need to proceed
in this life. The choir invites you to join us as we celebrate the God of Hope. The cantata will be presented
on December 18th at the 9:00 worship service and again at 4:00 pm. Both performances will be in the
sanctuary and refreshments will be available after the 4:00 presentation. We hope you will be a part of this
musical gift from the choir. As the composer, Randy Vader, penned:
“Hope is not lost!
Hope is not out of reach!
Hope is not gone!
HOPE IS BORN!
EMMANUEL”
