This Week’s Announcements

Announcements for the week of December 8, 2024

Our welcoming community gathers each Sunday at 9 am to worship, reflect, and find solace in the inspiring readings and hymns that enrich our faith during this season of Advent.

Don’t forget that you can get the readings and listen to the hymns ahead of time by visiting our service page for this week. You can even look ahead to next week’s as well.

After the service, we invite you to join us for treats and fellowship in the hall.

Please return your 2025 Pledge/Estimate of Giving cards by placing them on the collection plate, mailing them to the church, or placing them in the office lockbox.

Other ways to worship with us!

If you missed the live broadcast or the in-person service, you can watch the video or listen to the podcast released on Mondays.
