“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:8-11)

“Fear not little flock, fear not. Come with me to Bethlehem. Let us celebrate a joyous Christmas. Let us be merry and happy no matter what because Christ is born.” Catherine Doherty

On behalf of the Catholic Writers Guild Board, I’d like to wish each and every CWG member a Blessed Christmas and a Happy and Holy New Year! May 2015 be creative, prosperous and healthy for each and every one of us!

Membership News:

If you pay your Guild dues via auto-renew on PayPal, nothing will change for you. Your dues will remain the same and the time they are withdrawn will also remain the same.

If you currently pay by check or if you are not on auto-renew, membership dues will be increasing to $40 a year and you’ll be invoiced either in January or July depending on the last date you paid dues. This new system will hopefully be easier for those non-auto renew members.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please do feel free to contact me: president(at)catholicwritersguild.com

(Note: I will be spending time with my family from Christmas to New Year’s Day. If you send an email in that time, it will be answered after the New Year.)
