"O come, Desire of nations, bind
all peoples in one heart and mind;
bid envy, strife and quarrels cease;
fill the whole world with heaven's peace."

Dear friends:
Our prayers, as we enter this Advent season, are for peace, for healing, and for an awareness of the presence of Christ in our midst. We hope you will join us for our Advent and Christmas worship services, as we gather in our lovely Victorian sanctuary, sing carols, hear the Christmas scriptures and talk about what these things mean as we draw closer to God. Invite your friends and family and let us prepare our hearts for the arrival of Jesus Christ, Emmanuel, God-with-us.

In addition to our usual Worship Services throughout Advent, please join us for our special services and events:

December 4

5:00 p.m. Hanging of the Greens Dinner
6:00 p.m. Hanging of the Greens Worship Service
A traditional service in which we hear the Christmas story portrayed in scripture and in music. It is a time to tune our hearts to that which is truly important.

December 11

4:30 p.m. Christmas Caroling
Bring some Christmas cheer to our friends with mobility challenges.

December 17

4:00 p.m. Blue Christmas Worship Service
A service for all for whom the holiday season is difficult, because of grief, mental health struggles, or simply the shortening of the days. It is a quieter, more solemn observance of this Holy time.

December 18

12/18 5:00 p.m. The Live Nativity
Beautiful music and wonderful children bring us the Christmas story.

december 24

5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Christmas Eve Worship Services
Both services will be in-person, with the 5:00 also streamed via Zoom. Share the bread of life and the cup of salvation as we celebrate God's greatest gift.

December 25

11:00 a.m. Christmas Day Worship Service
Christmas Day is a Sunday this year, so we will have one service at 11:00 a.m. This will be a brief, informal service – wear your PJs and come ready with requests for favorite Christmas hymns!

Grace + Peace,

David
