The Gingerbread Nativity
We invite our families, parents and children (birth through grade 4) together, to kick off the holidays with a gathering to celebrate and explore the nativity. We will have games, crafts, and food for all. When we play together, we belong together, and we are better together! Please join us THIS SUNDAY, November 24, in Hancock Hall from 4:30-6:30 p.m. as we celebrate the birth of Jesus: the reason for the season! There is no cost to participate, but please register online as soon as possible to help us prepare!

Advent Family Gathering
What is the greatest gift of all? Is it a shiny new bike, or maybe a ball?
On the first day in the month of December, we'll join together for a time to remember.
"It came without ribbons; it came without tags. It came without packages, boxes, or bags."
Come for the music! Come for the food! Come for the people and the festive mood!
We'll gather for pancakes, we'll make a neat craft. Maybe we'll sigh, and we'll definitely laugh.
We'll sing and we'll worship- what fun it will be- as we learn of the gift that came for you and me.
Join us on December 1 in Hancock Hall for our annual Advent Family Gathering. Breakfast from Mama's Boy will be served from 8:30-9:30 a.m., followed by Family Worship from 10:00-10:30 a.m. Live music and a family craft will take place throughout the morning. Please register online by November 25.
