Pick up your Advent Calendar on Sunday!

On December mornings, we invite Carmel families to countdown to Christmas with God's word and an act of service. 

Pick up  the 2017 Carmel Advent Calendar   in the Gathering Space THIS Sunday and begin the countdown December 1.  

The best way to countdown to Christmas - and live every day - is to let our lives overflow with compassion and gratitude for the best gift ever - Jesus Christ!
