Welcome
Advent Book: Christmas in the Four Gospel Homes
As we look forward to beginning the season of Advent, we are excited to read through Cynthia M. Campbell’s Christmas in the Four Gospel Homes as a congregation. If you would like to join us on the way to the four gospel homes, pick up your copy of the book from the tables in the narthex or in the Youth Building lobby. The books are free, but if you are able to give a suggested donation of $10 we would appreciate it. Thank you for joining us as we journey home this Advent.

Wiggle Church
We’re excited for our next Wiggle Church coming up on Wednesday, December 14 at 5:00pm in the Youth Building. Children are the last group to return to church in the post-Covid culture. Wiggle Church is worship designed especially for young children and their grown-ups. In Wiggle Church, no one has to be on their best behavior. We encourage wiggling, giggling and exploring.
