Jubilee!
Luke's Gospel for the Poor
by Dale Lindsay Morgan
Suggestions for Leaders
by Louise Lawson Johnson
In the nine lessons of Jubilee! Luke's Gospel for the Poor, Dale Lindsay Morgan highlights Jesus' message of jubilee:". . . he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. . . . to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free . . . " (Luke 4:18). Learn about the many ways that Christ's jubilee message turned the world upside down, exalting the poor and including outsiders, bringing the love of God to all.

Women's Guild
The Women's Guild is a service group. The Guild's purpose is to provide Christian fellowship for the women of the church and community, and to provide service to the special needs of the church and community. Fund raiser projects consist of church suppers and the sale of our own cookbook: From the Kitchens of Family and Friends. Proceeds from the Guild's fund raisers go for special needs in the church, summer mission trips, and to area charitable organizations such as Blue Santa, Round Rock Area Serving Center, and Coats for Kids. In addition, the Guild sells coffee on the second Sunday of each month as part of The Presbyterian Coffee Project*. This group meets on the First Tuesday of every month at 10:00 AM in the Christian Education Building.

*Some 20 million people near the equator depend on coffee for their livelihood. In their struggle just to make a simple living, the producers of a rich crop are often trapped in poverty. But there is an alternative: FAIR TRADE. Fair trade shares the bounty of the coffee trade with those who grow the crop, helping them build a better future for themselves and their communities.
The Presbyterian Coffee Project—part of the Enough For Everyone program of the PC(USA)—is a new way to help people in need while enjoying fellowship and an excellent cup of coffee. As Christians we can address a consumer dilemma by buying coffee that is fairly traded. Presbyterian congregations that participate are supporting practices which help farmers in Latin America, Africa and Asia earn a fairer share of income, obtain access to credit and technical support, and gain a trading partner they can trust, a Fair Trade Organization called Equal Exchange.
