While some are going on winter holidays, either to ski or to find a warmer haven, we invite those at home to worship with us Sundays.

Join the early risers at 8 a.m. in the chapel, or meet at 10:30 a.m. in the sanctuary. Holy Communion is open to all who are baptized, and others may choose to come forward for a prayer of blessing. Participate in a friendly coffee hour afterward. Sunday school and nursery are provided at 10:30 a.m.

During the winter, if you keep warm by baking goodies, feel free to share a treat for coffee hour Sundays after the 10:30 a.m. service. Let Denise know, at (905) 833-2654.

Trying to find a way to streamline your faith on weekdays? How about finding your daily Bible reading online? You can even get a chapter e-mailed to you five days a week, in any classic or modern version you choose, to read on your lunch hour. Check out the "New Testament in a year" at www.bibleplan.org

You may prefer to ponder the separate readings from the Old Testament, the Epistles, and the Gospel set out in the Lectionary for the next week's worship. Find your date in the "Year A" weekly readings for Epiphany (the visit of the Wise Men) and Lent (40 days leading up to Easter) at http://divinity.library.vander bilt.edu/lectionary/

Our pancake supper this year is Feb. 5, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Cost $5, or $15 per family. The Ash Wednesday service (Feb. 6) is at 7:30 p.m.

The Tuesday evening Lenten discussions for "history dummies and buffs" (Feb. 12, 19, and 26) will be led by the Rev. Jerry Loweth. On Feb. 12 at 7 p.m., we'll scan Irenaeus (2nd C. apostolic father); Gnosticism (a current theme relevant to The DaVinci Code); and 7th C. Celtic Christianity and St. Aidan of Iona.

Easter Sunday is March 23, so save the preceding dates for Holy Week events, following school holidays breaks.

The monthly Food Bank is the last Saturday (Jan. 26) for registered York Region families. Please leave donations of canned and dry staples inside the east (office) door.

The prayer group meets alternate Wednesday mornings. To confirm the date and location, call Judith at (905) 833-5785.

All Saints' Anglican Church, at 12935 Keele St. in King City, is a few doors south of King Road. The church office is open Tuesday to Friday, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. If you know of a need, or have family member in hospital, contact Rev. Nicola Skinner at (905) 833-5432, e-mail allsaints@eol.ca or visit the Web site www.allsaintskingcity.com

King City United Church

King City United Church wishes everyone a very happy and prosperous 2008.

Please join us at 50 Elizabeth Grove for Sunday morning worship at 10 a.m. with Sunday school and nursery care provided.

We had a very successful fund-raiser for school supplies for the Indian school north of Kenora that was burned out. We sent many backpacks along with pencils, crayons, books, as well as money to help many children in Grades 1 to 8 resume their education.

Thanks to all who participated.

Come join us this Saturday (Jan. 19) at 7:30 p.m. when we will present The Harmony Chorale Concert. A free-will offering will be accepted.

Mark your calendar for March 15 for our annual Irish dinner.

If you need a ride any time or would like a prayer offered, call the church office at (905) 833-5181.
