Come worship this Sunday and hear Rev. Jim Warren's sermon, "Getting Ready." Jim will preach at both the 9:00 traditional service and the 10:15 One and All progressive service. The season of Advent doesn't begin until week. On this Sunday between Thanksgiving and Advent, we can prepare our hearts and souls for a new thing that's about to happen. Hear the story of the angel announcing to Zechariah that he and his wife, Elizabeth, will have a son, who will be John. John was sent to prepare the way for Jesus. The scripture passage is
Luke 1:8-17.
Come hear wonderful music! At the 9:00 service, our Chancel Choir will be singing a beautiful, prayerful gift of music in the spirit of the Lord's Prayer, and at 10:15 the One and All band will not disappoint. Soon we will be hearing and singing some seasonal tunes. Coffee and a light breakfast will be waiting for you in Fellowship Hall.
