Gathering on Thursday at 6:00 pm
I hope you’re planning to be with us on Thursday for our weekly gathering. We’ll begin with dinner and fellowship around the table – Alison and Erica, thanks for providing dinner for us this week! – and then pull the chairs around in the living room and spend some time in conversation. We will light the first candle on an Advent wreath, take a look at a Scripture passage, and share experiences. We hope you’ll be with us, and we hope we’ll have some newcomers this week, too. Please invite a friend, a neighbor, a co-worker, or a family member to come along. It’s going to be a good time, guaranteed. If you’re new to our group, we get together at our house, which is 31 Sheffield Street in Portland (just off Brighton Ave., near the USM campus). E-mail ewingmerrill@verizon.net for more information or directions.
Christmas Movie Marathon this Saturday, December 8, starting at 1:00 pm
Everyone’s invited back to our place on Saturday! We’re going to watch a bunch of Christmas movies. We’ve got “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “Miracle on 34th Street,” among others. If you have Christmas movies, or some of the old cartoon favorites like “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” or my personal favorite, the 1974 classic, “The Year Without a Santa Claus” (featuring the Heat Miser and the Snow Miser), please bring them along! Also, feel free to bring your favorite snack food, appetizer, or dessert. The festivities will start at 1:00, but come when you can, and we’ll just go until we decide to stop.
Christmas Open House - Sunday, December 16, 2:00-4:00 pm
If all that doesn’t sound like enough fun, come on back for a Christmas Open House, to which the folks from Chestnut United Methodist Church are invited as well. We’re making some favorite holiday foods, so please don’t bring a thing except yourselves. It’ll be a relaxed afternoon – we hope you can come.
Peace and joy,
Allen
