Next Sunday will be our annual Advent Breakfast!  Set-up will begin at 8:30 and breakfast will be served beginning at 9:15 AM. Come and join us for some good food and a time of fellowship with your church family!  Don’t bring anything…our Fellowship & Hospitality will handle everything!
There will be a Blue Christmas service on Sunday, December 19th at 7:00 PM.  This will be a very special service for those who feel the pain of loss especially during the holidays.  We want them to never forget God is still there with them (and we are too!)
Sunday School is temporarily suspended until December 19, at which time there will be a video of Mary and the birth of Christ. Please try to attend on this date at 9:00 am as it will give you a new perspective of this glorious event.  By not having Sunday School, this will allow our choir members additional time to practice for the choir program prior to their December 12 presentation.
15 Poinsettias will be available to purchase this Christmas for $8.50.  All plants are ordered from Brookwood, a facility that enables citizens with special needs to work and contribute to society and their own self-esteem.  If you would like to order one, complete an order form and give it to our Worship Elder, Carol Beverlin.  All poinsettias will be displayed on Christmas Eve and may be taken home after the service. Order forms are available today and are on the tables.
