We will kick off Advent on December 2 with a Hanging of the Greens service during our regular 10:30 worship service. Then, join us in our Fellowship Hall for an afternoon of Christmas crafts and activities, including a light lunch. Fun for all ages!

The American Kantorei invites us to "sing along" on the Christmas portions and Hallelujah Chorus of Handel's Messiah. Refreshments will follow in the fellowship hall. Bring your score if you have one, or borrow one of ours!

Our annual Christmas Pageant will take place during 10:30 AM worship on December 9. This year's pageant is inter-generational, so all ages are welcome! There is a part for everyone. Rehearsal for the pageant will be Saturday Dec. 8 at 10:00 AM. If you're interested in participating, contact Emily Stokes.

Samantha Arten, soprano, and Jeff Noonan, lute, will present "Songs of Anticipation and Rejoicing: Advent Music for Voice and Lute" in our Sanctuary.

Our first Christmas Eve service is designed and appropriately timed for young children, and the child in all of us. Favorite carols will be sung, the children will participate in a journey to Bethlehem, and the service will end with the warm glow of candle light or glow sticks for the children.

Our late Christmas Eve service is a traditional service of lessons and carols, with festive music by the bell choir and the chancel choir. The prophecies of Isaiah will light the way to the manger of Bethlehem. Singing "Silent Night" in the warm glow of candle light will conclude the service.
