A Toast to You from the Stillspeaking Ministry:

Happy New Year! from United Church of Christ on Vimeo.

Watch Don’t Let Them Lie To You from the United Church of Christ and join us tonight for two Services on Christmas Eve. The first one starts at 7 p.m. and holds surprises for the entire family. At 11 p.m. this Holy Night we will be focusing on Light and Darkness. Both services include the famous Lighting of the Candles and cherished hymns of the season. Come and connect to old and new friends alike. Oh, by the way, you can do that on facebook and twitter as well.

In case you are still looking for a good New Year’s resolution, here is one for you: Read the bible daily this year. To support you in that we encourage the use of the Daily Reading Plan by the American Bible Society. The daily load is only about a half book page. You can do it! And in order to keep you going there are several tools available:
Daily Bible Reading on facebook and twitter shoot the daily text to you in no time. You can also sign up for a daily email. Maybe you want to print the plan and use a book.
Anyway the biggest help our congregation can offer is a support group:
From January 6th 2011 through December 29th 2011 every Thursday night from 6-7 pm a Bible Journey Group is going to meet and share their reading experience and failure.

Members and friends of Provo Community United Church of Christ are shocked learning about the Provo Tabernacle Fire:

• - Mike Talbot took this photo
• - Kathy Beebe Kurtz shares some of her memories: “Wow, the Provo Tabernacle is on fire.  So many memories of community concerts at this place. What a loss. The Provo Community Church choir sang here many times. Saw Thurl Bailey concert there. New Year’s Eve concerts and more. So sad.”
• - The Rev. Daniel Haas spent the morning on the phone with LDS and Provo City Officials to see how his congregation could provide practical help during this disaster.
• - The interfaith community came out with the following statement: “As members of the Utah Valley Ministerial Association, we are deeply saddened by the Provo Tabernacle Fire.  This beautiful and historic building in the heart of our community has provided many opportunities for people of varying faiths to come together in celebration of religious freedom and love.  We express our condolences to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, its members, and the missionaries that serve so diligently to maintain this miraculous building.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole community during this sad time.”
