December 2018
What? December Already? Yep!
During December, except Sunday the 9th, which is "Bethlehem Sunday," you can check out the following materials – and many more – in the "Book Nook," located in the lobby of the sanctuary:
* Christmas-themed books for both adults and children
* A wide selection of devotionals for 2019
* Many Christmas movies, including two versions of past Bethlehem performances
* Materials to support the lessons we learned during this fall's Life Group studies of Dallas Willard's book, The Great Omission
Join the Library Team!
The SCFBC Library Team has always been relatively small. Recently, two people on the team moved from the area, and now there are only two members to care for more than 4,000 books and other media materials in the collection.
The Library Team gets together on Wednesday mornings from 10:00am to about noon. I hope you will consider joining this ministry, which serves the church by maintaining such a wonderful collection of books and other materials.
If you would like to learn more about becoming a team member, please email me at jerri@scfbc.org. Or you can call Trudy in the church office at 408-241-7635 or leave a voicemail message.
What we do in the library
Helping in the library includes doing computer entries, preparing and applying labels on new purchases or donations, putting those materials on the book shelves, and periodically updating what's featured each month in the church lobby's Book Nook. Even if you can only help when it's convenient for you, that would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You!
And thank you for prayerfully considering becoming a volunteer in the church library.
Will You Be Fasting in January?
Just in time for January’s “Vision for Fasting and Prayer,” we’ve added The Fasting Handbook: Dining from an Empty Bowl to the library’s collection.
Here are some of the facts about the book:
It’s only 90 pages, so it's quite easy to read in a brief amount of time.
It includes chapters on the “12 Types of Fasts,” “14 Activities or Foods to Refrain from Doing or Eating,” “14 Practices for Cleansing Your Body,” “22 Activities to Help You Fast,” and many more helpful facts and ideas.
Because this book has just arrived, it is currently available only by contacting Jerri Cooper at jerri@scfbc.org or by calling Trudy at the church office at 408-241-7635 to arrange to pick it up between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
There’s only one copy, so now’s the time to check it out!
