SHEEP and GOATS
Enough Said In God we trust.
— Samuel Portland Chase
Samuel Portland Chase (1808–1873) was an American politician and sixth Chief Justice of the United States (1864–1873).
Besides serving as 23rd governor of Ohio, Chase also served as the 25th Secretary of the Treasury. As Treasury secretary, Chase strengthened the federal
government, introducing its first paper currency as well as a national bank, both dur- ing wartime. It was Chase, as well, who first coined the phrase that every piece of
U.S. currency today bears. In 1956, it became the offi- cial national motto.

Poinsettias, a favorite of back- yard gardeners, are now exhibit- ing their scarlet, petal-like bracts just in time for the holidays. The onset of 14-hour-long nights triggers their behavior: In San Diego this condition is met just before the date of winter solstice, December 21.
Winter Solstice, the moment when the sun reaches its south- ernmost point on the celestial sphere, occurs this year at 2:24 a.m., Wednesday, December 21. This event signals the beginning of winter in the Northern Hemi- sphere and the beginning of sum- mer in the Southern Hemisphere. With only about ten hours of daylight, San Diego must endure its darkest and gloomiest nights this week and next. During the day, the sun struggles to an altitude of only 34 degrees (as seen from San Diego) and then

man preaches to a handful of listeners. Soldiers stroll about, keeping an eye on the crowd. A money chang- er haggles with a customer. A local official listens to grievances. A woman dips a jug into a well, the life-blood of the village. It’s an unusually busy day in this sleepy little village. People, mostly strangers, fill the streets. They aren’t very happy about it, having walked long, dusty miles to be taxed. Still, it is exciting to the villagers. Business will be good, too! And, though they don’t know it yet, something special will happen here today. Three young students – Eunice, Aaron and Abigail – arrive. Sent by their teacher, they are to interview people, find out what’s going on in suddenly busy Bethlehem. What they learn - and what they do - capture afresh the familiar story of the Nativity. The people of The Table: United Church of Christ of La Mesa invite you to share with us the joy of Christmas, the promise of the Holy Child of Bethlehem. The Gate, starring the youth of the church, will be presented during Sunday worship. 10am Sunday. LA MESA
