Kitchen Clean Up
A few people have replied that they will help in a rotation for Kitchen Clean-Up on 2nd and 4th Sundays. We're trying to get this into a regular schedule so that everyone can relax with the knowledge that all has been planned for. We are sure there are regular attenders who would like to be of service in this way but have simply not noticed the need or have forgotten to reply. If you would like to help out in this way please reply to this message and we can work out the details with you. Thank you.

Special thanks to you, Jennifer and Rich for all your help making the various pieces work... We had a very successful leadership retreat and our members were so appreciative of the warm welcome and beautiful space!! Thank you!!
With eyes on the prize, Louise
They took up a collection and donated $220 for their use of the building. (KSC fits into a category of groups that are not charged rent but pay as led). They were especially pleased to offer attendees a Zoom option and that technology worked well for them.
Christmas Plans
Meeting for Worship will be held Christmas Sunday as usual. There will be no 4th Sunday Program. Stay tuned for an announcement regarding Christmas Eve from the YRE Committee. They are trying to gauge interest in a Christmas Eve programmed worship. There are no plans for singing Christmas carols at Havenwood. May all have a safe and joyous holiday!
Unleashing the Power virtual workshop: Gifts & Leadings—Service & Nominations.
Thursday, January 26, 7 p.m. ET. Charlotte Stangeland, of Iowa Yearly Meeting, will lead a discussion about the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives. How can we increase our awareness and openness to the Spirit’s leadings? How can we recognize and appreciate each others’ spiritual gifts? The discussion of gifts will focus on the grace gifts in Romans 12 and the leadership gifts of Ephesians 4. Register here. When you follow this link you will need to scroll down the page to find the correct workshop. Several are listed.
