Give the Gift of Expectation
Luke 3:8-17 Isaiah 12:2-6
Perhaps the most enchanting and haunting feature of Benjamin Britten's
A Ceremony of Carols
is its simplicity. What could be more sublimely austere than medieval carols in Middle English, accompanied by the plucked strains of a lone harp? The picture and the sound evoke the hopeful, watchful sense of the days leading up to Christmas. Join us for worship filled with beautiful music and anticipation of the gift of Emmanuel, God with us!

Thank you all who made our celebration weekend so wonderful as we committed our giving for our 2019 ministry and our debt reduction over the next three years. Your generosity is what makes all of the ways we share Christ's love possible.
If you have not turned in your cards for these important commitments, please do so online, by mail, or in worship during our offering time as soon as possible. We need your commitments in order to make budgets and plans for the years to come. Thank you again for your generosity and your ministry!

Blue Christmas
December 12,

For many, however, the Christmas season is filled with painful reminders; reminders of lost loved ones, divorce or separation, lost jobs. Join us for Blue Christmas worship as we unite for a time of honest reflection, acknowledgment of the painful experiences we face, while looking ahead to hope and new life.
