UPCOMING EVENTS: Our Christmas Eve services will be at 4:30 and 7:00 p.m. There is no communion for those services. Our Christmas Communion Day service will be at 10:30 a.m. It will be preceded by our Christmas Breakfast at 9:30 a.m.

CHRISTMAS CAROLING: Today, we will go caroling from 2–4:00 p.m. We will have some food fellowship after we return. This year, we are asking for donations of small loaves of specialty bread (banana, gingerbread, etc.) to give to those to whom we carol. We appreciate all those who come to spread Christmas cheer through song.

THANK YOU: We wish to thank all the singers and musicians who made this Christmas Cantata so special. Your time, talent, and heartfelt dedication brought the story of Christmas to life in a beautiful and meaningful way. We are deeply grateful for the joy and inspiration you shared with us. Special thanks to Kurt Hilsabeck for putting it together.

ANGEL TREE GIFTS: The Board of Social Ministry and Outreach would like to thank everyone for our Angel Tree gifts!! Everyone did such an amazing job, and I know the adults receiving them are so truly blessed by everyone’s generosity!! Thank you all so very much!!
