ADVENT

Advent is a season to prepare for the coming of Christ: the promised coming of the Messiah to the Jews, the coming of Jesus being born in Bethlehem, the promised return of the risen Christ in final victory, and the continual coming of Christ into the lives and hearts of believers. Beginning the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day, Advent marks the beginning of a new church year. We hope you will join us during this holy season.

Sunday Worship:

Worship series: The Heart that Grew Three Sizes: Finding Faith in the Story of the Grinch. We will rediscover the gift of Advent that comes without packages, ribbons, or bows as we explore the faith themes in the Christmas Classic: The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

Also join us on Sunday, December 4 at 5:30pm for a casual movie night where we'll watch (one of) the film versions together!

Weekly Bible Study

Join Pastors Nikki and Andrew for a weekly Bible Study during Advent to examine the scriptures for each week. Tuesdays at 10am in the sanctuary building parlor.
