This Sunday!

Sunday, December 25 at 10:30 AM

This year Christmas falls on a Sunday and Sunday means that we gather for worship.

Come dressed for the rest of your day (pajamas are welcome!)

There will be lots of carols, a story, and even a small choir (!) as we continue our celebration of the Birth of Jesus. 

Reverse Advent Calendar

We will dedicate our Reverse Advent Calendar offerings during Christmas Morning Worship as our Christmas gift for the baby Jesus. If you will not be in worship that morning, don't worry, we will continue to receive items through Epiphany Sunday, January 8. We will then deliver our collection to Pathways of Hope food bank, Hub of Hope.

Our journey of 40 Days of Prayer continues. It is not too late to join us!



As part of our congregational discernment process, we will be using the scripture-based prayer prompts from Sailboat Church by Joan Gray. Devotional booklets with all the prayer prompts are available for those who prefer or who do not have a copy of the book to use.

Sunday, January 1 at 10:30 AM

When Christmas falls on a Sunday, then New Year's Day does as well. To celebrate the first day of 2023 we will gather around the Lord's Table to review the past year and embrace the new year as we share in a Love Feast, from the Moravian Church tradition. This service will not only feed our souls-it will feed our bodies since Carolee Ramich is baking homemade breads that we will eat as part of the service.  

WE ARE READY TO SET OUR COURSE!

Session 1: January 21, 2023, 1-4:30 pm

Session 2: January 22, 2023, following worship to 3 pm (includes lunch)

Please plan to join us at this critical weekend for the future of our congregation.

After reading and reflecting on the lessons from Sailboat Church and engaging in 40 days of prayer, we are now ready to discern what direction the wind of the Spirit is blowing our congregation. Our consultant, Maggie Harmon, from the Presbyterian Foundation will lead us in our weekend of prayer, discussion, and discernment.

Both Members AND Friends of the Congregation are encouraged to attend.

Childcare will be available.
