Christmas is coming! I do hope many of you can join us for our special worship services.
On Sunday, December 24th we will celebrate Advent IV at 10:00 a.m. with a worship service which includes the Sacrament of Communion.
For Christmas Eve we will have three “Lessons & Carols” services at 5 p.m., 7 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. The first service will offer our Christmas Pageant – a special children’s feature; then at 7 p.m. we will have a repeat of the Christmas Musical presented by Sarah Wyse and our choir (with the Sacrament of Communion & Light of the World Candle Lighting) and finally at 10:30 p.m. we will offer a quiet reflective service, again with the Sacrament of Communion & Light of the World Candle Lighting.
I have attached announcements for your reading. Please note that due to some holiday time, these announcements cover both this Sunday, December 24th as well as Sunday, December 31st (when we will have a service as usual at 10:00 a.m.) Also, I need to share some sad news: church member Jack Fortnum has passed away. A funeral service will be here at the church on Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m. Details can be found here: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/thestar/obituary.aspx?n=norman-jack-fortnum&pid=187585996&fhid=17666
