Advent Curriculum

A note from Rev. Herrscher regarding the 2008 Advent Study: "After prayerful discussion with Kyla, we have chosen the "Advent 2008 Come to the Manger" adult curriculum for Adult SS for Advent. The curriculum written by Robert Kaylor and published by Abingdon Press/Cokesbury. It is available at Cokesbury and is based on the Scriptures of the Revised Common Lectionary, from which Ron preaches during Advent. And perhaps equally interesting, the selected study was written by my pastor, the pastor of the campus ministry during my freshman year at Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA. I knew him as Bob Kaylor, not as "Robert Kaylor." Furthermore I had completely lost track with him because before I started my sophomore year of college, he and his family had moved to Colorado Springs to take an appointment in that conference. However, the way to reconnect with him came to me 11 years later via Advent curriculum! And while you might now thing there was a bias, I paid no attention to the authors in my discernment and didn't even realize tha t I

knew him until yesterday! So while the cover art and title of the study are pretty ordinary, I am confident that this study will be a blessing."

I have purchased a copy of the study book and a leader's guide for every Adult Sunday School Class as well as for the Singles, Young Adult, and College SS classes. If you would like to purchase additional copies of the book for your members, you can order them directly from the Cokesbury store, Cokesbury online, or I'll be happy to order your class copies. Each additional book may be purchased for $8.00. I will have your Advent study materials in your class, next Sunday, November 16th.

Please let me know how I may continue to serve each of your classes during Kyla's absence.

Grace and Peace,

Head Start Christmas Gifts

Good point, Rob. We'll organize a "crew" to deliver all this stuff--if any can help that would be great. We are scheduled to deliver Wednesday, December 10, between 7:30am and 6pm to the following address:

Head Start
1600 Rigsbee Drive (corner of Janet Way/Rigsbee)
Plano 75074
469-752-7162

If possible, for anyone who signed up for the bikes if you could get them to the Head Start buildingon the 10th--that would be great. But, we do have some time to work all this out. I've updated the sign-up list and have attached it.

Thanks to everyone for your generous giving through Christ.
