Blessings of God’s peace and presence, Gathering Church, as we begin a new year.

This Sunday we welcome the new year with a New Year’s Brunch. We will enjoy time in conversation and the building up of our relationships as a church family as we enjoy time around tables with good food.

Please bring brunch items to share with others. Coffee is provided. You are welcome to bring your own plates and cutlery. We will also have some available.

We hope to see you on Sunday.

Join us next Sunday as we meet for morning worship through song, scripture and reflection.

• For teachers and students as they return to school.

• For our Leadership Board and Vision and Care.
  
  

• For our youth leaders and Kids’ Zone teachers.

We are thankful for your prayers for and participation in Snack Attack. Since September, relationships of trust and encouragement have grown. We continue to see how sharing God’s love brings hope and peace and builds up love in the community. 

Snack Attack will restart on Tuesday January 13^th.
