Join us for our annual Advent Wreath Workshop. This is a relaxed time for the church family to gather, enjoy a meal, and make an Advent Wreath for use at home. Each wreath kit cost $15 and a simple dinner of cheese pizza, fruit, and cookies is $5 per person (children under 5 are free).
CHRISTMAS POINSETTIAS
Our Sanctuary and Worship Center will once again be beautifully adorned with poinsettias this Christmas. Poinsettias may be purchased in memory or honor of a loved one. There will be a special Christmas bulletin sharing these dedications. The cost for each plant is $15.00. Deadline: December 11.
What is Evensong? From ancient times, Christians have gathered as evening falls to celebrate the Light that shines in the darkness. Through beauty and contemplation at day’s end, Evensong draws us deeper into the life of God.
Join us as the Evensong Octet, Sanctuary Choir, and Youth Choir offer this reflective candlelight service featuring Scripture, silence, and exquisite à cappella choral music from the Renaissance to modernity.
