Today Is Scout Sunday

Today, we welcome Troop 30 and Pack 330 to help lead our worship service. The Troop is over 100 years old and presently has approximately 10 active Scouts. One of the Scouts just became the 156th Eagle Scout of the Troop last month and another Scout is scheduled to become the 157th Eagle Scout. The Scouts continue to camp monthly, including an annual 35-mile/5 day backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail. The Scouts also participate in a variety of service projects throughout the year and meet weekly during the school year.

Did You Know?

There are several calendars in our daily lives. The Christian Church has one as well. Currently, we are in the Christmas Cycle, with Advent, Christmas and Epiphany. The colors of the altar cloth, the lectern and pulpit, and stoles worn by clergy and choir are significant to the seasons. Purple or Blue are for Advent, symbolizing penitence, royalty (purple) and hope (blue.) Christmas and other festive days are white or gold. Epiphany uses the color green, meaning growth. As we approach each service this Epiphany season, how are you challenging yourself for personal and spiritual growth?
