The Fourth Sunday of AdventThe last
Sunday we gather before Christmas. Let's take some time as we all
hustle and bustle to prepare for this wonderful season! come breathe,
glow and be part of the story of God's overwhelming love!
Lessons & Carols
8:30am & 11:00am services
Sung by The Senior Choir
All the Advent lessons point to the coming arrival of Jesus. Even Mary
gets a chance to speak and unbelievably says "Count Me In." Christmas
anthems include: There Shall a Star Come Out of Jacob, Before the Marvel of
this Night, Biebl’s Ave Maria, Angel’s Carol and This Christmastide. With
our wonderful accompanist Cherry Tinquist at the piano and a string
orchestra to lift our spirits. Don’t miss the 4th Sunday in Advent service.
All the characters except the one in the cradle are in place. Won’t you come
and hear the news of what God is up to and say, "Count Us In."
Coffee, Cider & Treats

"Light of the World"
Children’s Christmas Pageant,
at 10:00amThis year we present the musical Light of the World by
Mark Patterson. Using familiar carols from around the world and new original
songs we tell the Christmas story. Through narration, drama, and song,
choristers share how Jesus came to be the "Light of the World" over 2,000 years
ago. We will let the children lead us as we witness a live nativity and then
take the light out into the world!
Nativity Display Between Services
Come see The Nativity sets! They will be set up in or near the Christian Life
Center. Let all these depictions of that holy night fill your heart with its awe
and beauty. Music will fill the space to enhance your wonder. There will be
several Fontanini sets, some children friendly, hands on sets, an old fashion
cardboard set from days of yore (no three dimension stuff in those tough times),
and hopefully many more!
