Food For The Soul: The Ingredients of Christmas
This Advent, we will be exploring the major components of the Christian life and the Christmas message… Hope, Peace, Joy, Love and Christ. Essentially we will be using the idea of holiday recipes and Christmas cooking to consider these fundamental “ingredients” of the Christian life. These themes will guide us through advent as we prepare and approach Christmas together, and we need your help, remember to bring your symbol of Advent!
December 24 – Christ [The Christ box will be available from 12/19 – 12/24]
Advent Poinsettias
This year we will be supporting another Mission Project. If you would be willing to share a poinsettia only ($11) with us and/or donate to this year’s Mission Project and poinsettia, ($15), please contact Cheri in the office at 336-1649. Please let her know if this poinsettia is in memory of, or honoring someone.
