Church Apartment Ministry (Anchor House)
Thank you all for a successful Living Gift Market.
Thank you to the Presbyterian Women for baking cookies, Betty Nelson and Joann Navratil for their scarves and crocheted necklaces and Pam Tedeschi and Teresa Darr for their beautiful quilted table runners, tree skirt and tea books. And a very special thank you to those that just donated to the Anchor Houses.
We have kept the apartments full through Christmas which is quite a feat this time of year. (M.D. Anderson generally does not start new treatments at this time and likes to send most everyone home.) Our newest tenant is from Montana, the Goughs. They are finding our weather very warm.
Most of our tenants find the apartments very welcoming. If anyone is interested in seeing an apartment, let us know and we can show you one when someone moves out.
After the first of the year we are off to buy new mattresses for one of the apartments.

Unbinding the Gospel - Lent Study
Unbinding the Gospel E-Event
40 Day Faith Journey
All-Church Study
During the past year St. John’s held three small-group leadership studies based on a book entitled Unbinding the Gospel. The study, an exciting adventure in Christianity, is about praying and sharing faith experiences.
This similar small-group study experience is now being offered to St. Johner's.
The study, also called an “E-vent,” will begin the week of February 10-17 (the first week of Lent) and conclude around Easter Sunday, March 31.
Learn more about this wonderful opportunity on All Committee Day, January 12, and during Sunday Worship on January 27.

St. John's Epistle for December 13, 2012
Dear Advent candle lit people of God,

St. John's Presbyterian Church

Worship Service: Sunday, 10:30 am / Sunday School: 9:00 am
Last Sunday afternoon we had a wonderful memorial service and reception for Elaine DeSouza. We will miss Elaine in so many ways from her personal inspiration to her leadership in many ministries of this congregation. In the end, Elaine showed us how to die even as she had shown us how to live. She is now well and in good hands in the company of the saints in light.
As we grow more mature (not necessarily older but more mature), we tend to value experiences more. For example, a Christmas gathering when we are young adults may be viewed as something we have to "get through" so we can go out and spend some quality time with our friends. As we mature though, we come to value time spent with family and the sameness of holiday rituals.
One of our holiday rituals in this church family is our Christmas Eve services. Put them on your calendar and come and bring your family and friends on December 24. We will have a youth led service at 6 pm in the sanctuary and a candlelight service at 11 pm in the sanctuary. Look forward to that service. Cherish it this time and once again. We don't how many such services we will get to attend in our lifetime. For some of us, we don't know which ones, this may be our last Advent season. So what are we waiting for? Let's let Christ be born in our heart anew. That's what Elaine would want us to do.
Toward that end, this Sunday is a healing service. After the sermon, as we sing O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, you may come forward for anointing with oil and prayer for yourself or someone you love. You may seek healing of mind, body, or soul. It may be financial, relational, or physical healing you seek. Christ the great healer will meet you where you are and bring healing to your life this Sunday.
Your waiting with you for Christ's rebirth in our hearts pastor,
JON BURNHAM

Christmas Joy Offering - Sunday, December 23
Presbyterians can respond to that love at Christmas by giving generously to the Christmas Joy Offering. As we celebrate Jesus’ love in our lives this Christmas, our gifts bear joyful witness to the power of that boundless love that changes lives.
What Is the Christmas Joy Offering?
One way in which the PC(USA) has joined together and shared the good news of great joy is through the Christmas Joy Offering. One half of the Offering supports Presbyterian-related racial ethnic schools and colleges. Through this support, these schools offer an opportunity to young adults to advance their education and escape the cycle of poverty and prejudice. The Assistance Program of the Board of Pensions receives the other half of the Offering and uses it to assist pastors, missionaries, and church workers in special need. Your gifts enable the Assistance Program to support active and retired church workers who have unexpected needs they cannot meet..

You are invited to a memorial service for Elaine DeSouza in the sanctuary of St. John's Presbyterian Church at 2 pm tomorrow, Sunday, December 9, with a reception to follow in Fellowship Hall. Elaine passed away early this morning after a long struggle with cancer. She was an inspiration to her family and our church family and will be dearly missed by all who knew her. She served Christ's church in so many ways and touched our lives through her teaching, prayer, and faith filled life. Here are a few scriptures Elaine chose for her memorial service. May they be a source of comfort to us all as we celebrate her resurrection to eternal life during her memorial service tomorrow at 2 pm.
The Lord is my light and my salvation--whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27)The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of God stands forever. (Isaiah 40:8)
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. (Numbers 6:24-26)
Peace,

St. John's Epistle for December 6, 2012
Dear lingering children of light,
In this Advent season, we find ourselves waiting for Christ to be born anew in our hearts.
At the same time, we find ourselves praying for Elaine DeSouza who is in hospice care at MD Anderson. We pray for her to find the peace that passes all understanding as she makes the transition from this world to the world to come. Especially we pray for her children, Mark and Jenny, and for their families.
We also lift in prayer Colette who is at Texas Children's Hospital and for Jim who is in Hospice Care at Bayou Manor.
This Sunday at 9 am all ages are invited to St. John's Advent Festival in McPhail Hall. Come make Advent ornament, drink wassail, and sing Christmas carols. A light continental breakfast will be provided.
St. John's 2012 Advent booklet is available in the Narthex this Sunday. Look for JOY! You may use the booklet to help you prepare your heart for this joyous season.
-- It was a joyous celebration last Sunday as our youth choir led the way in a beautiful service of music that included the chancel choir and the handbell choir. All these choirs will be singing again during worship this Sunday. Come and join us as we lift our souls to God on the Second Sunday of Advent.
Your peaceful yet passionate pastor,
