Biltmore Beloved,
 
What a wonderful Christmas!   I want to express thanks to all of you for your generosity and thoughtfulness in providing a holiday gift for our amazing church staff.  We are blessed to be part of a wonderful church.
 
Thanks, as well, to all of those who contributed to our special offering for the wells and nutrition for Congo at our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service, and for all the participants, choir, musicians and behind-the-scenes volunteers who packed gift boxes for our many guests.
 
We wish you a happy new year as well, and want to remind you that we will have a
combined worship service at 11am this Sunday as we look forward to a year of growth in our relationship with God and awareness of God’s blessings.  It will be a great Sunday to invite any holiday guests and neighbors to join with us.
 
In Christ,
Pastor Sonny

 
We've had a lot of fun dressing this past Advent season. 
Here are some pictures from the past few weeks.  Happy New Year!


                     
 
 

WIC WARMTH TREE   The WIC Office located in the doctors’ office buildings below the church, is asking for children's’ mittens, gloves, and scarves and hats, to help at-risk young mothers keep their families warm.  IF you would enjoy helping, you can bring a pair of (new or used) mittens, and also hats and scarves, and leave in the church office.

HAVE YOU FOUND YOUR PEEPS?  B'MORE'S SMALL GROUPS CAN HELP
"All my homies are from the street."  Sometimes, when you find yourself in a different grouping of people, you discover more about yourself and life than you thought possible.  This happened recently on Thursday night, when groups consolidated for an evening.  Instead of the usual homogeneous groups, they combined together and were greatly enriched by each others' journeys.  If you haven't found a group yet, please visit some of the ones we have going.  We can also form new groups if you have an idea for one.  Contact:  Anita Sayles at ageasayles@gmail.com  828-216-6591 for information.

 



 
NEED PRAYER? 
Please send all prayer requests to Barb Korb at barbarakorb@yahoo.com
We are here to pray for you!

 


BILTMOREUMC'S PRAYER TEAM assembles every Tuesday at noon to pray for the needs of our church and our community.  We meet in the Prayer Room upstairs (right beside the elevator on Level 3),  and we end by 12:30pm.
 

EMMAUS MEN are responsible for "Fun & Fellowship" this Sunday in the Events Center
 

Deadline for e-news:   Please note the deadline for information to be received and included in the weekly e-news is every Thursday by 10am.  Send info to:  officemrg@biltmoreumc.org.
