Advent and Christmas 2024 Happenings

 Here is a calendar of Advent and Christmas happenings in the church this year.

We are especially looking for people who might want to share their musical talents on Christmas eve.  Would you like to be part of a Christmas Choir?  Share your fiddle skills?  We want to talk to you!  Reach out to the pastors or someone from the Worship Committee (Mary Helen, Connie, or Linda).

Blessings,

The Worship Committee

There will be goodies to share so we hope to see you Sunday morning in worship!
