Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
SO, in this Advent (Conspiracy) season, the GOOD news is that we have already got 1 well for Belo, and a growing 'mess' of imperishable goods, blankets and sleeping bags in the corner of the room. But we want more... When will we be satisfied? (maybe when the lions and lambs lie down together?)
'Twas a rich night at the Place with more Kidz advent art, videos, telephone calls from Belo, and James urging us to Spend Less.
Coming up:
20th 8:45pm Christmas Jam Night in the Cafe – freewill donation to Belo
21st 7:30pm Prayer of 100. Candles, interaction, liturgy, quiet.
27th 10am The Place joins Lambrick a.m. to celebrate life together (i.e. NO PLACE AT 6:45pm)
27th 6pm Party for the families connected to Mustard Seed - The last stragglers can sign up to help here.

Advent Giving
After Bob's sermon, people came forward to give more clean water to Belo. We raised enough for 1 well! Praise God! So, let's do it again and again. Think big. As stated all monies raised in the advent period will go to Belo in the form of wells and local language bibles.
We want to throw a party down at the Mustard Seed. But we need you to help run this thing!
Also let's fill the corner of the room with perishable foods, blankets and sleeping bags.
Calendar:
15th 6pm Place Ladies Night - delicious dinner, wonderful community$5
20th Christmas Jam Night – now after the Place, donations to Belo
21st 7:30pm Prayer of 100. Candles, interaction, liturgy, quiet.
24th Christmas Eve Services at 5pm (family),8pm ,11pm (communion)
27th 10am The Place joins Lambrick a.m. to celebrate life together

Primer
In Luke 5, we see that Jesus' mission statement was to minister to the sick, not the healthy.
That is therefore the mission statement of His body today.
How are we doing?

Bullets
Here they are:
- Shh. Did you hear the latest conspiracy about advent?
- If you missed Lambrick's annual general meeting then read all about it here - including Financial statements.
- Interested in Community, Challenge and Compassion? Sign up for the Juan de Fuca trail in May 2010. 3 unique days of hiking, eating and lack-of-washing together - and all for a good cause of providing care for some young mums (that Penny knows) in Zambia who have slipped through the system. More info from Penny 250.884.8306 penelopef AT shaw DOT ca
- Need Christmas gift ideas? Pick up Food for the Hungry's brochure in the foyer.
- Part of the Tues Jam Night? If you want to play in the December gig then email us.

Place Primer
So far in Luke,
- Jesus was born in the margins, to marginalized people
- Mary's song tells that God will take care of the marginalized
- John the Baptist: "you'd better take care of the marginalized" because the Messiah is coming
- Jesus says the kingdom is for the marginalized (maybe even what we might call "losers").
- This week Jesus tells us that He will even choose marginalized "sinners" be his friends and partners
