Two Advent Studies beginning now:

  • A Child Is Born by Rabbi Amy-Jill Levine.  Discover the fascinating connections between birth narratives in the Old Testament and the Nativity of Jesus during this 4-week study on Sundays after worship.
  • The Journey by Adam Hamilton on Mondays at 5:30 p.m. is also the preaching/worship theme that Pastor Terri will be following this December. 

The Christmas Pageant will be on Sunday, Dec. 21, at the regular 10:30 worship service.  Please let Lisa know as soon as possible anyone of any age who would like to participate.  Adults and teens are needed to read scripture or narrations.  Children will be fitted for costumes during Sunday School the next several weeks.  We also hope to practice a song or two.  Please bring your children & grandchildren as regularly as possible these next several weeks.

Pastor Terri’s family will once again be preparing a scrumptious dinner for after the program.  Please sign up now on the bulletin board if you plan on attending the meal.

 

Share your WHITE poinsettia with Memorial in worship.  If you wish to honor or memorialize a loved one with your plant, complete the form on the long table just inside the church’s front door, and return the form to the church office by Dec. 17.  Then order your poinsettia from whichever florist you choose and have it to the church by Saturday, Dec. 20.<< New text box >>

The next Game Night will be at 5 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 19.
