Wednesdays, December 3, 10, & 17

Advent

The Advent season is a blessed time when we prepare our hearts for the coming of our Savior. Each Wednesday during Advent, join us at 5:30 p.m. for an Advent meal, followed by the Advent service at 6:30 p.m. Come hear God’s Word and be strengthened in Christ, “for faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17). After the service, stay for open gym — a great opportunity to relax, play games, and enjoy Christ-centered fellowship with friends.

And don’t forget to mark your calendars!
On December 10, the Youth Group will be hosting the Advent Dinner. We’ll prepare and serve the meal before worship and work together to make it a special evening for our church family — a joyful way to use our gifts in service to the body of Christ (1 Peter 4:10).

We hope to see you throughout this holy season as together we watch, wait, and rejoice in the promises of our coming King!
