ADULTS IN THE CHAPEL
This Advent Season we will explore: "Because of Bethlehem: Love is Born, Hope is Here," new this year by Max Lucado. "A remarkable gift in an unremarkable package. One did come to Bethlehem more than 2000 years ago. No one expected God to come into the world the way He did. Yet the way He came was every bit as important as the coming itself. The manger is the message." Join us each Sunday of Advent, beginning Sunday, November 27. The first session: "God has a Face."
COFFEE CAFÉ CLASS
"Blurry" Sunday School Class - Join Jon Bauman this morning in the Coffee Café for a Sunday School Class dedicated to helping us understand the Bible more. Open to all adults who do not currently go to one of the other Awesome Sunday School classes at First Church!
FELLOWSHIP HALL IS A HAPPENING PLACE after the worship service! Grab a cup of coffee and some goodies before you to to a class or decide to sit and chat with friends!
BELL CHOIR INTEREST -
Do you enjoy listening to hand bell music on Sunday mornings? Would you like to learn to play bells? If you're interested in learning to ring hand bells, sign up on bulletin boards in the office hallway to show you're interested. No prior music experience needed, just a willingness to learn. Rehearsals will be on Monday evenings, beginning in January. If enough people sign up, a beginners' adult choir will be formed. Have questions? Please speak with Ryan Miller.
FLOWER DELIVERY HELPERS
After worship every week, we have volunteers that deliver our altar flowers to folks who could use a visit and some cheering up. If you would like to join this meaningful ministry team to deliver flowers, please see Shirley Shaffer after the service or call her, sign up on the sheet in the Narthex, or let the Church Office know. Thank you!
