Advent Sermon Series
Peace, justice, joy, wonder—these are not just God’s heavenly aspirations for creation;
they are God’s enfleshed vision for creation, embodied in a man from Nazareth named Jesus.
Each Christmas we donate 1000 sleeping bags to Christmas in the park. We would love for you to help us make that possible again this year.
This year we have added the gift of winter jackets. If you would like to help cover the cost of a jacket, please drop off $30 for winter outreach. We have a really amazing partnership that is providing us with warm jackets at a discounted rate. Each week from October through May we distribute wool socks to ensure that people are kept safe and warm throughout the winter. You can find these in our wishlist as well!
Join our family in the park on Christmas Day to distribute the sleeping bags!
Advent Devotional
To celebrate Advent, we’ve created a weekly devotional with reflective questions, actions and prayers to guide you to those places in the world where peace, justice, joy and wonder prevail. Those places where you will find Jesus on Earth.
Each Sunday, beginning December 1, the devotional cards will be available in the atrium before and after service.
Collect all four to discover our special surprise gift to you this Advent season!
We’ve created a limited edition run of 1500, so be sure to grab one for your family each week.
Music for the season.

ADVENTure

As a part of our Advent tradition, we are excited to come together for ADVENTure!
Join us in Fellowship Hall for a yummy brunch, Christmas music presented by our Children’s Choir and other special guests, the story of the Giving Manger read by Rev Akilah and a magical Advent craft that your family can create together.
Ms. Claus’ Closet will also be open so our younger Christmas shoppers can find up-cycled holiday gifts for those they love. Donations of winter coats, hats and mittens for our Advent Outreach project will be collected as well.
Everyone is welcome and kids of all ages are invited to wear their jammies for added fun!
Advent Study
Join us as we reflect on the meaning of Jesus’ birth as a human being among us.
We’ll delve into the Biblical Christmas story to find its meanings for our lives and our time.
