We will make extra efforts to bring joy to our hearts and homes this season. Every Sunday in December, we will try to experience the season to its fullest so we can share it with others.

Wednesday December 12 at 6:30pm, we will have a Blue Christmas Service. This is a service to sit in darkness and pray for light. The holidays can stir the grief or hurt we carry in our lives. Join us to allow all the feelings of the season to have their place. Dr. Rev. Sharon Betsworth and Rev. Trina Bose North will lead this worship.

Sunday December 16, our theme is “Joy is Our True Home.” During the 11am service, the youth will share where they find joy, and our children will sing Joy to the World. We will have special music in both services.

Sunday December 23, join us to sing some of our favorite secular Christmas songs. A soloist will sing Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. These songs remind us how Christmas feels, which is how God feels as well.

Christmas Eve is Monday December 24. All are invited to our Christmas Eve Service at 7pm. We will read the Christmas story, according to Luke (Luke 2:1-20). We will sing Christmas carols and light candles. Nursery is available.

Throughout the month of December, we will be collecting blankets for the homeless. There will be boxes in the back of the Sanctuary and the Garden Room. New or second-hand is fine, as long as it is in good shape. We will give them to Ice Angels Homeless Ministries to give them out. Thank you.
