This Advent, we have a few resources to help us prepare for the celebration of Jesus’ birth at Christmas.  

The first is a booklet called “Jesse Tree Devotionals” (which is particularly good for home with young children), and the second is a Family Prayer booklet with prayer services from our ACNA Book of Common Prayer.  

You can pick one up for your family in the Café after the service.

Our own Ev Schleef and Tim Ghrist will be speakers at a Men’s Retreat at Shepherd’s Ridge Farm in Deerfield. 

The “Living Stones Built on a Living Foundation” retreat will on December 3rd and 4th. 

For more information see the Welcome Board or  contact Ev Schleef.

Our annual Angel Tree party will be held on Sunday, December 12th, at 2:00 PM. 

You can take part by purchasing a gift for a child whose parent is incarcerated OR by donating toward the purchase of Gift Cards for caregivers. 

There are still Gift Tags available on the Christmas Tree in the Café.  Please be sure to write your name and the child’s name on the slip and put it in the place provided.  Gifts should be returned by next Sunday, December 5th.

We are also looking for volunteers for setup before and cleanup after the party.  If you can help, contact Kathy Nelson or the church office.
