Advent is the season of the church year where we prepare for the celebration of Christmas, the day Jesus was born as one of us. Here are the special Advent preparations and celebrations this year:
Saturday November 28th – The “Hanging of the Greens” We will decorate the church for the Advent and Christmas Season. Bring a can of soup (not creamed soup) and we’ll have a soup supper when we finish decking the halls. Festivities begin at 4 PM.
Sunday December 6th – Advent Potluck and Readers’ Theater following church. Bring a dish to share for the potluck and be prepared to be an enthusiastic audience (or participants) in a short play in honor of the Christmas season.
Sunday December 13th – Special Gospel music soloist Nichol Eskridge will be with us in worship. After worship is the Women’s’ association bake sale. Remember your $! All monies collected go to the mission causes supported by the Women’s Association.
Sunday December 20th – The choir will present a musical Cantata during worship. We will hear the Christmas message in word and song. This is one of the musical highlights of the year — invite your friends and family to join us!
Thursday, December 24th 11 PM – our traditional Christmas eve candlelight service. Take a nap in the afternoon, then join us for this late-night celebration of Christmas as we hear the Christmas story through lessons and carols.
