ur Advent Faith Formation series starts on
Sunday, December 2nd. This 4-week series will be led by our very own Revs. Sue and Molly and will focus on Presiding Bishop Curry 's call for the whole church to take up The Way of Love, a "rule of life" focused on practices for a Jesus-Centered Life.
Here is the schedule for the series:

- 12/9: Mary and Elizabeth: Journeying with Family and Friends (led by Molly)
- 12/16: The Birth of John the Baptist: Journeying with Community (led by Sue)

You are invited to participate in this journey of discovery each Sunday morning at 9:00 am, in the Norwood Room. We hope you can join us in this season of searching, waiting, and yes, also journeying together.

Save the Date: 2019 Winter Ball
The Winter Ball will be on the evening of Saturday, February 16th! Please keep posted for more details about tickets and ways to volunteer. Kim Ligon and Chris West are our co-chairs!
Here's a brief message from them:
Would you like to host a dinner at your house? Do you have a
piece of art or a
craft you've created? Or maybe you have
professional services you provide? In all of these cases, you can help the winter ball committee!
Every year, the winter ball raises money for our youth and young adult programming and pilgrimages, and one way we raise money is through a
Silent Auction.
If you have an item or service you would like to donate for the winter ball, please contact the winter ball co-chairs Kimberly Ligon at ligon.kimberly@gmail.com or Chris West at cew2373@gmail.com.
Thank you for being a part of this exciting evening and for contributing to the festivities!
