On the first Sunday of Advent, November 29, we will begin a special Advent sermon series - focusing on the Anticipation of Christ’s birth. Henry Knapp and Doug Rehberg will be basing each week’s message on a different candle in the Advent wreath: Hope, Peace, Love, and Joy - culminating with the lighting of the Christ candle on Christmas Eve. These messages are particularly poignant this year as we all need to remember to keep our eyes on our Savior, Jesus Christ, the most precious gift we will ever receive.
Our plan is to hold 4 on-site worship services on Christmas Eve this year.
A 4:00 pm service will be held in the Barclay for families with young children . Glow sticks will be used for our own candle lighting service.
Services will also be held at 7:00 and 9:00 pm - in the Sanctuary at 7:00 and 9:00 pm and in the Barclay at 7:00 pm. (A service will also be posted online.) The reason for the simultaneous services at 7:00 pm is the need to allow for social distancing. We feel this is the best option to allow for anyone who would like to attend the opportunity to do so. With that in mind, we are asking that you pre-register your intention to attend. You can do that online (the link will be provided via the e-newsletter and on our website) or by calling the church office. Tickets will not be required - this is only so we can plan. If you find out later that you can or can’t attend that is okay. Candle lighting will take place, but we will provide battery operated candles so you will not need to blow them out. We are asking that everyone remains masked throughout the service.
Coming in 2021
Doug and Henry will begin a new sermon series:
Genesis: Looking Back to See Ahead
