UUFSM Youth Group creates a Cake Train
In honor of the Polar Express play we held in December 2009, the UUFSM Youth group gathered on Saturday and created a Cake Train, featuring a steam locomotive (popcorn smoke and pretzel windows, with a waffle ice cream bowl for a cow catcher), a coal car (chocolate chips), two freight cars (tootsie rolls and gum drops), and a little red caboose. The wheels (Oreos and thin mints) ran on red licorice rails.
It was reduced to crumbs at the Sunday snack time.
Loving Hearts, Helping Hands in December
The people of the Fellowship gave generously to families from the community at Christmas. We collected $865 and used that to purchase two bicycles, safety helmets, a computer, books, and other gifts in time for the holidays.
People also gave to our December Charity: The HOPE Food Pantry. Even though we missed a Sunday because of the snow, we still collected $285 and some food.

Once in a Blue Moon
Date and time:
Thursday, 31 December 2009 - 4:45pm - 5:00pm 
On New Year's Eve, it's the second full moon in the month of December, so that makes it a blue moon. (They happen every 2.7 years.)
Also, the full moon rises at 4:56 pm (60 degrees east of north) and the sun sets (240 degrees east of north) at 4:56 p.m. If it's not raining, find a good place (near the water?) with an unobstructed view of the horizon to see them both!
