December, 3. First Friday. Healing Service, Potluck Supper, and Caroling. All are Welcome!
First Friday Potluck
This month, our First Friday potluck will feature a trip to Thomas House for some caroling. Please join us between 6:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. at the church so that we can travel together to Thomas House. After caroling, we will come back to the church for potluck supper. Please bring a dish to share.
December 5. “The Quietness of this Waiting Moment.” Second Sunday in Advent. One minister has written: “The quality of our lives depend on the spiritual mood in which we wait.” We will explore the possibility of deep and expectant waiting for this season of Advent. *Remember to bring items for Beacon House teenagers.
December 12. “The Darkness and the Light.” Third Sunday of Advent. We usually refer to this season in the Christian year as a time of Light. It is important, though, not to overlook the power of darkness for the depth and the growth it fosters. We will join people of many faiths exploring the power of dark and light in our lives. *Remember to bring items for Beacon House teenagers.
**After service on the 12th, we will be hanging the greens to decorate our sanctuary for Christmas.
December 19. “Traditions of Christmas.” Fourth Sunday in Advent. The youth of our church will present a Christmas service exploring the meanings of the season. *Remember to bring items for Beacon House teenagers.
