Caroling for Second Sunday Serve! | |
|
To say Mulberry is a musically gifted church would be one of the greatest understatements ever uttered! This Sunday, we have an opportunity to share that gift with our community! We will (for the second year in a row) sing carols at local nursing homes as a part of our quarterly service Sunday. After our 11:00 worship service, we will enjoy a catered meal in the fellowship hall before dispersing to sing at two locations (the care units at Carlyle Place and Eastview Nursing Home). As we sing classic carols like “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” “Go, Tell It on the Mountain,” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” we will share the gift of Christmas joy to members of our community in need of encouragement. I hope you’ll join us this Sunday for a great time of food, fellowship, and Christmas cheer!

The United Women in Faith want to thank all of the bakers, buyers, sellers, and church staff-Hunter, Ed and especially Clifton-for a successful Bake Sale. Special thanks to Linda Cloaninger for organizing the sale! You all have made it possible for us to support local and international missions.
Good news- you will still have an opportunity to purchase Equal Exchange coffee, tea, chocolate and gift baskets on Sunday in the atrium and at the Second Sunday lunch. Your purchase helps provide fair prices to small farmers all over the world as well as supporting our mission projects.

The Longest Night Service
Wednesday, December 20 | 6:00 pm
This service is designed for when all is not merry and bright. While Christmas brings joy, it can also bring sorrow, difficult memories, and melancholy. And that’s okay! Join together in worship to give space to those emotions and to find encouragement through being a church family together.
