Moderator’s December Message

Hello!
I am writing this as the snow is falling and the wind is blowing outside. I think it is safe to say
that Watertown has experienced its first snowstorm of the season.

A group of us ventured out into the blowing snow on Saturday to decorate the church for the Christmas season
and although it was cold and snowy outside, it was warm and cozy inside. Jordan Zemlicka was so kind as to
donate a beautiful new Christmas tree to the church. It lights up so lovely in the sanctuary. The tree displays our
collection of intricate hand made ornaments. A big thank you to everyone that helped with the decorating.
The PIV building task force (Partners in Vision) is moving forward. We have our next meeting on Dec. 16. We
will be discussing next steps for how to utilize the programs that the Church Building and Loan Fund offers.
Our church council has decided to take a different approach to holiday giving this year. We will not be running
the Angel Tree program, but we invite you to personally support a child in need this holiday season if you are
able. I am listing a few locations below that do have angel tree tags:
Wal-Mart
Trav’s outfitters
Salvation Army
Most Banks
Planet Fitness
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas. As we celebrate the season, may you experience the peace, love, and
joy of Christ's birth.
Love to all
Susan
