I attended Chrysalis 28 in Canandaigua, NY and sat at table #6. We were YONTLL - You Only Need to Learn Love. I also attended Walk to Emmaus #87 in Pine City, NY and sat at table #1. We were Lydia's Lilac Ladies Leading Others to the Lord.

Raquette Valley Ultreya

Psalm 136:1 “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, His love endures forever”.

Please come together on Sunday evening, November 27, 6:30 P.M. at the Potsdam United Methodist Church for the Racquette Valley Ultreya meeting. Bring your songbooks as we’ll sing for a bit, be prepared to welcome new cursilliastas, share your joys and concerns. Rev. Beth Benham will celebrate Holy Communion with us. We will also set meeting dates for Winter/Spring 2012 and have time for making lanyards and decorating placemats.

May you have time this week to reflect on God’s blessings to you and to consider the meaning of Advent as Sunday begins this season of our lives.

Please check the Closer Walk website for information on how to cast your vote for a new Lay Director: www.closerwalkuny.com

Hope to see you there, invite a friend who has not been able to attend recently.

Prayer & Praise

Posted on by Brandee Terry

Please pray dear prayer warriors for a young woman 33 years old, who has been under treatment for breast cancer and now has found out it has spread to her back and stomach. She is married with 3 young children. She has great faith and courage, but finds herself asking…WHY? In this season of Thanksgiving, I give thanks there is a God that hears and answers our prayers.

Happening Reminder

Posted on by Brandee Terry

Dear Closer Walk and Koinonia Family,
This Friday night at Happening, the youth are going to be doing Operation Christmas Child. This means that we will be needing shoe boxes, (or plastic sorting boxes from the dollar store are preferred), wrapping supplies, and donations for shipping. If you would like, you could also send along small items to put in the boxes. But please, do not send anything war-related, such as toy soldiers or toy knives or guns. More information can be found on www.samaritanspurse.org/occ/. And of course, helping hands are always welcome, so please send your children who have been on a Chrysalis or Koinonia. Remember, Happening is at the Auburn First United Methodist Church, which is located at 99 South St., Auburn, NY 13021. I hope to see many new faces, and of course, many shoe boxes, supplies, and donations.
Thanks, and God Bless,
Don Rettberg III,
Chrysalis #48
