    Like the shepherds, we hear the news and we are stunned: in Jesus God has come among us as one of us, to accompany and transform us. As we open our hearts to Gods love in Jesus, we find it will not be contained but yearns to be shared with others. One of the ways Presbyterians have traditionally responded to the news of Gods great gift is by sharing our own gifts through the Christmas Joy Offering. The Offering supports racial ethnic education at Presbyterian-related schools and colleges, where students develop their gifts and find their calling. It also helps families of active and retired church workers meet unexpected needs through the Assistance Program of the Board of Pensions. As we celebrate this good news of great joy that a Savior has been born to us may our gifts bear joyful witness to Gods uncontainable love. There are 12 assisted listening devices available for people to better hear the worship service. They are located in a basket in the narthex. CD copies of our worship service are also available every Sunday in the narthex. Check out our website for the weekly Bulletin and Insert. Our Facebook page can be found at: Pittsgrove Presbyterian Church

    The Deacons will meet briefly today, immediately following worship, at the front of the sanctuary. Youth Groups will not meet tonight or next Sunday, December 23rd. This years Annual Christmas Program is tonight beginning at 7:30 pm with pre-service music beginning at 7 pm. This years program will consist of choral and solo Christmas anthems performed by our choir. Everyone is invited to attend a light reception in the social hall following the program. If you are able to donate cookies or a light snack it would be greatly appreciated. You can leave them in the kitchen. Hope you can join us! Shoeless Sunday is next Sunday, December 23rd Please bring in a pair of new shoes, socks, and/or a $3 donation to cover shipping costs. The shoes are for orphan children (sizes small through adult) given through the Buckner Foundation. Most needed are larger sizes of shoes and boots for boys/men. Also, as we have done in the past we encourage you to remove your shoes in the sanctuary. We take off our shoes in solidarity with people around the world who are too poor to have a pair of their own. Pastors Bible Study - Thursday mornings 9-10am.
