New Year’s Eve Open House

We’re having another New Year’s Eve party this year. Like last year it will be at Andy & Beckie’s home (see the image below for the address). Everyone’s welcome and it’s friendly for humans of all ages. There will be fun and games, fire and a sauna. Bring a snack to share (and a bathing suit & towel if you want to try the sauna). It starts at 7pm.

Christmas Eve Service

Join us on Dec 24 from 6 – 7pm for our annual Christmas Eve celebration. We will worship together with music, hear the Christmas story, and light our candles together as we experience the wonder and light that Jesus brought, is bringing, and will one day bring.

All are welcome. Invite anyone!

Make sure you pick up a few invitation cards to invite your friends and family.

Get Into the Story!

Christmas time can provide some great opportunities to explore the Christmas story. I encourage you, in whatever situation you’re in, to make some time to read through the events chronicled in scripture regarding Jesus’ incarnation. Here are some suggested readings. You’ll notice that we’ve been exploring a few of these passages in our Advent series this year. Enjoy!

Luke 1:26-38

(The Angel visits Mary, Mary’s response, the Magnificat – Mary’s song of worship)

Matthew 1:18-25 or Luke 2:1-7

(Matthew: The engagement, Joseph’s dream; Luke: Census and short birth narrative)

Luke 2:8-20

(The Shepherds see the Angelic Host)

Matthew 2:1-12

(The Wise Men come from the East)

Christmas Feast – Pie Sign Up

Our Christmas feast is less than two weeks away! Jessie Penner, who has in previous years helped organize and cook for our feast, is also helping organize the feast this year! As she shared this past Sunday, she is needing some pies donated for our dessert at the feast.

If you’re able and willing to donate a pie or two (or three, or more!) please contact Jessie to let her know of your plans. Any pies that you want to drop off at the church for Jessie to pick up can be done so tomorrow (Thursday the 5th) or on Sunday morning, December 8th, so Jessie can take them home to cook!

Sunday, December 15th @ 12 pm in the Sanctuary! (Families will eat together in the studio).

Hope to see you at the feast! Merry Christmas!
