CareLine for Tuesday, December 8, 2020
Important Announcement:
The Walnut Street Shepherds have made the decision to suspend our in-person gatherings for worship and Bible study for Sunday, 12/13 and Sunday, 12/20. All gatherings will be in a virtual setting. As before, links and access will be found on our website (www.wscoc.com) and on our Walnut Street Church of Christ Digital FaceBook page. Communion supplies will be available for pickup Monday – Friday at the Church Office and Saturday from 9 AM to 11 AM. Our shepherds want to stress that this is a temporary decision to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
We extend our sympathy to Lynette Carlucci and family in loss of her stepmom, Peggy Deen, who passed away Saturday. A graveside service will be held at Memory Gardens on Hwy 100 on Wednesday, December 9 at 1 PM. Visitation with the family will be at the cemetery prior to and after the service.
We extend our sympathy to Susan Snow and family in the loss of her aunt, Margaret Hudson, who passed away this morning. Funeral arrangements are not known at this time.

Other Announcements:
If you purchased a poinsettia and would like to pick it up, please call the church office when you arrive at the building and we will bring it out to you.
The Counseling Center has several openings on Wednesdays and Thursdays beginning at 8 AM. This service is free for members and family. If you wish to have on-line counseling, call 615-975-2395. We keep all clients confidential.
December’s item for the Golden Deeds Ministry is combs or brushes. This item will be added to the backpacks for the homeless in our community. There is a collection bin in the Gathering Room.
During these days, many of our people are relying on technology, some more than usual. If you need tech support with your tablet, smartphone, laptop, or smart-TV, please email us your question at: askwalnutstreet@wscoc.com. We will do our best to respond personally to your question and help offer support in some way.
Reading for today: 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ Matthew 25:31-40 (His Life Devotional Book page 291)
