Happy 5th Day of Christmas!

While I was out running a few errands yesterday, the woman ahead of me in the checkout line commented to the checker, "I'm sure glad Christmas is over." I said, "It's not over. Christmas lasts until the 5th of January. Today's just the fourth day of Christmas." Oh how she glared at me...

I hope your celebrations of Christmas continue, even if you're back to work, back on the road, or "back to reality." The incarnation of God is something to celebrate ALL the time. And probably even more necessary when all the glitz of the season is gone. (Yes, they're putting out Valentines at Target).

Just a couple of reminders for this week: We host the Gallatin Valley Interfaith Association Labyrinth Walk on Thursday night, New Year's Eve. An hour for children and families is scheduled from 7-8pm, and then for adults from 8pm-1am. Walking a labyrinth is a great tool for prayer and meditation, particularly as we embark on the journey of a new year and decade.

Also, we're back to our regular worship and Sunday School schedule on Sunday, with services at 8:30 and 11am and Sunday School at 9:45am. Invite your friends and family to join you!
