Dear Women of St. Peter's        Christmas is not over!  Christ comes to us every day of the year!  On January 6th we celebrate Epiphany, when God revealed Christ to the Magi, as a sign that Jesus came for all people of all nations and all races.  We think of January as a new beginning; a time to change our habits and activities in a way that will make our lives better and more meaningful., but don't forget that God's love and grace give us a "new beginning" each and every day.   Songs of thankfulness and praise, Jesus, Lord, to thee we raise; Manifested by the star To the sages from afar, Branch of royal David's stem In thy birth at Bethlehem: Anthems be to thee addressed, God in flesh made manifest.        Plan to attend our first Unit meeting of 2009 on Sunday, January 11th at 2 pm and invite someone to come with you   We're planning an exciting year, full of opportunities for BOLD expressions of faith!  Our Southwestern Texas Synodical Board is meeting in late January with the TX/LA Gulf Coast Synodical Board for a joint session to plan the 2009 convention at Camp Allen in Navasota on August 7-9.  Mark you calendar now and make plans to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity for Christian growth and fellowship offered by our WELCA organization.
