Sept/Oct Mission Focus – Feeding the Hungry Food Bag Pick-Up – Sat, Sept 23rd, we need another 20 volunteers to start at church anytime between 9am and 11am, to get your 25 assigned houses to pick up food donations from. You will return food collected to the church when done that day.
With trick-or-treating behind us, some are feeling full: full of candy, full of snow, or full of gratitude. Sometimes the activities of this world remind us of the ways that we are cared for by God and God's people. Sometimes our day-to-day activities do not. This month we prepare with thankful hearts for the season of advent. It might seem odd to prepare for preparing, but hey, let's give it a try! :) Let's think about being thankful, grateful, and blessed as we worship together.
“Light of the world You stepped down into darkness Opened my eyes let me see Beauty that made this heart adore You Hope of a life spent with You And here I am to worship” by Tim Hughes Many melodies have been enhanced by the four words of Advent: Hope, Love, Joy, and Peace. Each year we light the candle of our Advent Wreath as we prepare for Christmas: the coming of Christ. It is in our preparations that we are invited to ponder on Christ’s coming with a lens of Hope, Love, Joy or Peace. Sometimes that pondering leads to singing. Nov 26 through Dec 17 we will worship as part of our preparation. You are invited to join Pastor Angie in study as well as she looks at “Light of the World” by Amy-Jill Levine on the Wednesday’s of Advent. Then, on December 24, we will sing with gladness and give that’s for Jesus, Emmanual, Prince of Peace.
