Advent Gatherings
Vespers | Wednesdays, Dec. 4th, 11th, and 18th at 6:30pm in the Auditorium
The word “vespers” means evening prayer. Going back for many centuries Christians have gathered for vespers as a means of spiritual formation in the context of community. We'll be meeting for about 45 minutes of reading, singing, prayer and reflection as we move through December. The liturgical structure of each night will be the same, but the content will be different for each gathering, and the evenings aren't sequential. In other words, come for one night or all of them as they'll each be a little different. There is no childcare being offered and there will be no livestream available.

Cookies & Caroling | Dec. 15th after the Sunday Services
Join us on Sunday, December 15th as we spread some holiday cheer at Haven at Lakewood senior living residence. Our plan is to provide lunch in the lower level after the 11:00am service. Then we’ll practice a few Christmas carols together and head over to Haven just before 2:00pm. We’ll sing our carols for the residents, have a short Christmas talk, and enjoy some cookies with them. We ask that each family bakes some Christmas cookies to share.
