GOOD NEWS The Weekly Newsletter of All Souls ECC
A Welcoming Community of Faith!
On behalf of our pastor, Fr. Henry Pruski, the Board of Directors, and the entire All Souls Family – MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL 2017! May the light of Christ shine brightly for you this Christmas!
As a reminder, we do not have a 1:00 pm service today – but we do hope to see you at our midnight mass tonight. We begin with special music at 11:45 pm.
As we get into winter – to watch your email, facebook, and channel 69/WFMZ to know if ALL SOULS services or other events are cancelled due to weather. We will make notice as soon as possible. But also use your best judgement – the conditions where you live might be better or worse than they are at Centre Ave. In all things – be safe!
We hope you enjoy this issue of the Good News – with this weeks scriptures, hymns, and other information. Feel free to share with friends and family.
This Week's Reading And Question of the Week
Take time to mediate on God’s word and prepare for worship this Sunday. And as you meditate on them, consider the Question of the Week:
How do I treasure the wonderful gift of Jesus in my heart? How do I bear witness of his presence to others?
- Psalm 96: 1-2, 2-3, 11-12, 13
upon his shoulder dominion rests.
They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero,
Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.
His dominion is vast
and forever peaceful,
from David’s throne, and over his kingdom,
which he confirms and sustains
by judgment and justice,
both now and forever.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this!
