Advent Starting and Other Matters

A message from our pastor:

"Dear sisters and brothers in Christ,

This weekend, in worship, we enter the Season of Advent as we begin a new church year. The color of the season is blue (for hope), for it is a time in which the church looks forward to the final coming of Jesus. The Advent Wreath will be in place, as we will light the first candle.

This Sunday, at 3:00 p.m., the first Christmas Pageant rehearsal will be held at the church. If you have any questions, please contact Rachel Spry.

Next weekend, Saturday (12/09) and Sunday (12/10) there is plenty happening: Saturday and Sunday in worship will be our Consecration Services as we receive “estimates of giving” ($ and time/talent) for 2007. Watch your mail for details. Sunday, after worship, we will also hold our annual ADVENTure Awaiting Celebration, which includes a silent auction, holiday craft fair, and great food prepared by our Youth. Plan to be a part of this festive day! And on Saturday, 8:30 a.m., we will put up the Chrismon trees in the sanctuary (trees only). Anyone and everyone is welcome to help erect the 4 trees.

As we begin a new church year, let’s gather in worship this weekend. It’s a great way to kick off the new year!

In Christ,
Gary
