Advent(ure) Sunday this Sunday!

Sunday 11/30 begins the four week church season that precedes Christmas. This season, which is traditionally a reflective one, as the winter nights grow longer, we hear scriptures of the coming in breaking of God - with the incarnation at Christmas, today, and in the future. We lean in to the gifts of both the darkness and light. Sunday (11/30) after each worship service, join us for make your own pancakes, crafts, and learning, to make for a meaningful Advent season. If you're traveling next Sunday or through the season, God goes with you! Join us when you can, and Pastor Brett will share devotional materials and opportunities to connect wherever you are to keep a holy Advent, and a more meaningful Christmas.

Kids’ Activities & Epiphany Play

All kids are invited to participate in our Christmas/Epiphany play/pageant which is shared in the 10:00am worship service on January 4. We will have a rehearsal at 9:00 on December 14 in the fellowship hall, with all ages together, as well as on Jan. 4 at 9:00. Parents and adults, your help is welcome – please speak with Pastor Brett. On Sunday Dec. 28, we will have our regular kids’ learning classes during the 9am hour.

Study Guides & Resources

On our Read & Explore Faith page there are a few blog entries on various topics, which also point in the direction of further resources. We've also (just) started a Goodreads page to share reviews of different books - detail here.
Early in the summer we had two one-session topic studies - on topics which, given current events, our wider church has encouraged us to study our denomination's statements and faith perspective/resources on.  Pastor Brett created a study guide for self study or learning more about each topic: Abortion and Community Violence.
