A Lesson in Carols, Sunday December 31st

Gentle Reader,
Merry Christmas!
The mid-winter is upon us! The snow is fresh, the air is crisp, and the 12 Days of Christmas are well on their way! And what better way to celebrate the ongoing feast of Christmas than gathering together in the warmth of your church family to hear stories of God's wonders and sing carols familiar and fancy?  We may not have seven swans-a-swimming, but a good time will be had by all! Come and Join us!

Combined Service  9am
Merry Christmas!
