Stories of Hope, Peace, Joy & Love
An interactive Online Advent Calendar
Dec 3rd – 24th
Advent Calendars have become increasingly popular in recent years…and, perhaps, increasingly disconnected from the idea of Advent, which is a time of waiting and preparation for Christ’s birth. While it is harmless fun to countdown to Christmas by drinking your favorite tea or getting a new pair of socks each day, we wanted to offer another opportunity this year.
Poinsettias 2023
Purchase a Christmas Poinsettia in memory or in honor of a loved one. The flowers will be used to decorate the worship spaces during Advent and on Christmas Eve. At the conclusion of Christmas Eve worship you are welcome to take them home. We will also celebrate your gift with a list of those who have donated flowers and the names of those they wish to honor.

Faith Handles
Faith Handles with Billy Echols-Richter
Have you ever tried to carry your luggage without a handle? It would be difficult and challenging. It is the same with our lives. It seems we are carrying around a lot of questions that often encumber and weigh us down. Faith does not always give us the answers, but it gives us the handles to better navigate our way on the journey of life.
