Update on Tanzania Mission
Missionary Park received the freight containing 1000 lbs of material shipped by air.
Two large wooden crates of materials for the multimedia project were shipped on Nov 10, exactly six weeks ago, and they finally arrived at Tanga missionary complex.
The freight had some problems at Doha, Qatar which were resolved after unreasonable delay with an additional charge, and at Dar Es Salaam airport.
We still have one more crate which is being shipped over ocean and scheduled to arrive at Dar Es Salaam port on Jan. 9.
Fragile electronics (about 150 lbs) will be hand carried to Tanzania.
Pastor Sarah and Elder Cho have booked a flight leaving for Tanzania on January 24 and back on Feb 11.
Pastor Sarah will be teaching fifteen 90 min classes at Tanga Christian Bible College run by the missionary.
In order to create multimedia contents for Living Stone Seminary, Elder Cho will be collecting decent and appropriate DVDs for LSS students, ranging from 7th to 12th grades before he leaves.
If you have DVD’s to donate please bring them to the service for Elder Cho.
Please keep them in your prayers for the shipment and the teaching project.

Bi-District Training Day Jan 7, 2012
9AM-3:30PM at Floris UMC
13600 Frying Pan Rd. Herndon
This year’s Keynote Speaker is The Rev. Jorge Acevedo.
Jorge is an elder in the Florida Conference and the lead
Pastor at Grace Church, a multi-site United Methodist
congregation in Southwest Florida. This church has
grown in its weekend attendance from 400 to over 2600
in the past thirteen years and has one of the largest and
most effective recovery ministries in America.
In Wesleyan Christianity the UMC has all it needs to be
faithful and fruitful in today’s world, says Acevedo. The
challenge is to ‘turbo-charge’ the tradition, claim it and
live into it.

What time is it?
 It’s Time to Pray!
We have been reminding the congregation about being on time for service.
When you arrive early, you will have find parking spaces, find time to drop your children off and give yourself time and space to pray before the service.
Praying changes everything, especially before service.
You will be able to sing, receive the Word and truly bless others when there is prayer behind your actions.
Let’s continue this wonderful tradition of praying before service.
Thank you!

Green Church
 Our church is trying to be ecologically responsible.
That’s the reason for the mugs instead of Styrofoam cups and steel utensils
instead of disposables.
Also please recycle the bulletins.
Please do not leave them in the seats or in the church.
We truly appreciate your help and cooperation.
We could do more but doing one step at a time helps.
Please use the mugs and be part of the green process.
Also consider being part of the Green Team.
