Christmas 2022

Jesus said, "I am the light of the world; the one who follows me will not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." Come Lord Jesus, our light and our salvation. Let us walk in the light of the Lord.

Saturday, November 26 from 9-11AM we will decorate the church for the Christmas season. There will be cider and donuts, devotionals handed out, and volunteers will pick up cards and baskets to deliver to home-members.

Each Sunday, advent readers will call us to worship focusing on an advent theme of hope, peace, joy, and love. We will sing Christmas carols and sermons will draw from our advent devotional.

Sunday, December 18, is a special nativity service.
