2016 Christmas Fund for Veterans of the Cross and the Emergency Fund 
In this holy and joyous time of year, our thoughts turn to the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, the light of the world. 
The theme for the 2016 Christmas Fund Offering is God’s Love Colors Everything
For 115 years, the Christmas Fund for the Veterans of the Cross and the Emergency Fund has been a way in which we, as members of the United Church of Christ and the predecessor denominations, reflect the love of Jesus Christ in the lives of the many women and men who have so faithfully and selflessly served, and who now find themselves facing unforeseen financial crises.
See the bulletin insert for more information on the Christmas Fund and Emergency Fund. The offering will be dedicated on Sunday, December 18.

The Rutland Area Chorus, soloists and orchestra will perform the concerts at 3:30 P.M. and 7 P.M. under the direction of Dr. Sherrill Blodget, Director of Choral Activities at Castleton University.
The Messiah soloists are:
Allison Devery of Montpelier, soprano;
Amy Frostman of South Burlington, alto;
Cameron Steinmetz of Montpelier, tenor;
and Zebulun McLellan of Tinmouth, bass.
Handel’s Messiah, one of the great Baroque choral masterpieces, depicts the prophecy and birth of Jesus Christ as told by Isaiah, the prophet and the writers of the Gospels. A free will offering will be received and a reception will follow the 7 P.M. performance.
