Stay up to date!
From Sunday:
What can we share of ourselves that will be a gift for someone who needs encouragement? Where is the moment where we can "Love our neighbor?" And where-oh-where is the opportunity today to "Love our God with all our heart, and with all our soul, and with all our mind?"
Those are the questions we should answer as we Anticipate the celebration of the birth of our savior this Christmas.
Our Advent Sermon Series is about recapturing the excitement, anticipation, and wonder of the very first Christmas. We want to make that real in our own lives and bring healing to a broken world.

En Agape',  
Rev. Michael Weeks

The Disciples Women Holiday Luncheon
Stewardship 2018

The 2019 offering envelopes are on the back pew in the sanctuary and are ready to be picked up.  For those who indicated interest in electronic pay on the covenant card, the only way to go that route would be to use the bill pay service through your own bank.  Those who already do this will not be receiving envelopes.

Children and youth envelopes are available in sets of twelve. Please write a name on the envelope since they are not numbered. More envelopes are available from the office.

The special offering will be received on December 16th & 23rd.
Advent Devotionals

December 16th is the third Sunday of Advent.

Take home an Advent Devotional 
to share with your family.


Slash Post Office
You may use the free Slash Postal Service to pass along Christmas greetings to fellow members and regular visitors to our church. A mailbox is in the  back of the sanctuary where you can leave your Christmas Cards through  December 16th. The cards will be sorted by Michelle Weeks and friends and will be available for pick up during worship services. We encourage you to make a gift to the Christmas Offering to benefit the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Virginia with the money you save on postage this Christmas.
