Candlelight Carols, 5PM

 

Come enjoy an evening of great music and readings that celebrate the birth of our Savior, and plan to stay after for a time of fellowship.

 

The church family has received Christmas cards from friends and missionaries scattered around the world. Check out the bulletin board near Wilson Hall.

This evening’s Candlelight Carols will be followed by a time of fellowship in Helen Wilson Hall.  Each family is asked to bring both a sweet and a savory finger food to share.  We do ask that all items be true finger foods so that people can mingle freely.  You also may wish to bring a favorite coffee mug to enjoy hot beverages.

COMING EVENTS

Sunday, December 17, 5PM  Candlelight Carols

Sunday, Dec. 31, 12:30PM    New Years Lunch and Fellowship

Sunday, Jan. 7, 5:30PM        AWANA resumes

Sunday, Jan. 14, 12:30PM    Lunch at Evangel Church

As Christmas Eve and New Years Eve fall on Sundays this year, we will have services only in the morning on those days to leave time for family.

Celebrate an early New Year’s Eve with a soup lunch immediately following the morning service on Sunday, December 31.  Bring a favorite board game with you and stick around for as long as you’d like for a time of fellowship and games.  Please sign up on the list in the hallway to indicate both your intent to stay and your contribution for lunch.

If you would like your Christmas cards for fellow regular attenders of the church to be hand-delivered on Sunday Morning, December 24, you can bring them and place them in the box placed in the hallway for that purpose.  Please have all cards turned in by December 20.
