MISSION EMPHASIS FOR JANUARY: Sierra Service Project
The high school mission team has been attending the Sierra Service Project for the last 7 years. SSP takes teenagers to different Native American Reservations throughout California, Idaho, Nevada, and Arizona for week-long mission trips repairing homes during the summer. This year, the team will be attending the "Urban" Site in South Los Angeles where they will be repairing homes and also learning about the homeless situation that South LA faces. Your contribution to this mission helps pay for the three van rental fees. There are 20 spots available for high school youth to fill, please speak to Amy Ochoa to sign up your teenager for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Food emphasis of the Month
This year the Missions Committee has elected to designated a specific food each month to be provided to the Salvation Army. We are starting off the year with macaroni and cheese, of course other items are welcome as well. Please place your items in the blue bucket in the Narthex and they will be taken to the Salvation Army.
Albertson's One Cent Promotion To End
Tuesday
the 11th of January is the last day that Albertson's will be passing out the
pots and pans stickers for its special promotion. Please be sure to turn in all
your collected stickers on or before the following Sunday, Jan. 16. As of this
date we have redeemed 27 Albertson "pot and pans". All pots and pans

COMMUNION BASKETS FROM TANZANIA
On the altar today are two beautiful new baskets holding the Communion bread. They were hand-woven in Tanzania, the African country where our 2010 Christmas Offering is helping to build the Gerald Pre-School in Mara. They were purchased from a Fair Trade Federation company, ensuring that the weavers received a reasonable living wage for their craft. Fair Trade workers also reinvest a portion of their profits back into their community to improve local health and education.

CD's of any of the 10:30 am Sunday Worship Services can be obtained by marking "Request CD" when you sign the attendance registration pad. They are $1.00 each.
