It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas – Crafts and Soup Lunch – Dec. 4th
You’re invited THIS SUNDAY at noon for a soup lunch in Fellowship Hall and to join
in the fun of making Christmas crafts – for all ages! We’ll make ornaments, Christmons,
candleholders, a coloring project, and more! And stop by the Health Kit table to
assemble kits for those displaced by the storms of life.

Advent Praying in Color
Join us on Thursday in December at 7 pm in the library (Dec. 1, 8, 15, and 22),
for a time to quiet your heart and mind, centering yourself on the true meaning

A Service of Lessons and Carols – NEXT SUNDAY
Join us Sunday, December 11th at 7 pm for a spirit-filled evening to center your

Advent Sermon Series
Christmas carols are the best known and some of the most influential songs in our
culture. They connect with us in emotional, spiritual, and theological ways, drawing

us into the spirit of the season, and teaching the story of Jesus birth. As we prepare

our hearts for Christ’s coming, we will dig into some of our beloved Christmas carols

to uncover their deeper meaning for us today. Join us this Sunday to unpack the

favorite carol, “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear.”
