Good morning faith family. Here is your link to sign up for in-person worship for this Sunday, December 13, 2020 at 9 a.m. As always, we will continue to stream each service on our YouTube. All are welcome; please worship in whatever way is comfortable for you. Here is the service program and the service program in large print for your preview. This is the Third Sunday of Advent. There are paper copies available to be mailed. If you would like one, please let me know.
This Sunday, and each Sunday in Advent, at 10:00 a.m., Drive Through Communion and Prayers will be offered for those who have not received the Sacrament in-person during the service. You do not need to sign up for this. ALL are WELCOME!
And then, at 5 p.m., there will be Advent Evening Prayer live on YouTube and in-person with precautions. You do not need to sign up to attend this service. Here is the accompanying worship bulletin.
The Lord of the Rings adult education class has been postponed until January, so we can focus on celebrating the Advent season in new and meaningful ways during this unprecedented year. This gives you plenty of time to dust off this awesome trilogy, or enjoy them for the first time!
On December 27, 2020, Novel Theology will meet via Zoom to discuss “Where Courage Calls” by Janey Oke and Laurel Oke Lagan. There is still plenty of time to dig into this good read.
In this strange time, the church is aware that some of its members are struggling to make ends meet. If you are in this situation, please let the clergy know of your needs, pray for the church, and feel no guilt about your giving. But if you are able to give, options for giving include mailing a check to your church or online giving. See our Giving page.
Please continue to share your impressions and ideas for both in-person and online worship. Your thoughts are appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Cana Hartman, Parish Administrator
