As always in December, there is a lot going on! Be sure to read below to find out how to participate in some of the great things happening during these Advent & Christmas seasons.
Coming up in Worship - Pastor Jeremy will be preaching this Sunday out of the lectionary passages, with our Advent theme focusing on Love. And on Monday, December 24 (Christmas Eve!), we will begin the season of Christmas with one of the highlights of our year together: Christmas Eve: Gathering of Lights at 4:16 PM (sundown).
Also, before you begin a new calendar year, join us on Sunday, Dec. 30th for the Wesley Covenant Service, which is a wonderful way to make commitment to the Lord in a new start.
Spanish Word of the Week - amor, which means "love".
Annual Christmas Sing-Along - Join us at Thaxter Park (just up Thaxter Street from our chapel) on Saturday, December 22nd at 5pm for an evening of soup and Christmas carol singing. The residents at Thaxter will be providing diner and we are all asked to bring finger desserts (cookies, brownies, etc.). Should be a great time once again!Ladies' Christmas Gathering - TONIGHT!!! Attention all ladies: join us on December 20th at 7pm at Charlie DiSante's house for a cookie exchange and fellowship. We will exchange our cookies, have hot beverages and engage in fellowship! Also to make it a more festive night we will exchange in the making of ornaments. Bring enough supplies to be able to teach everyone how to make a simple ornament that everyone will be able to take home at the end of the night. We will also have a simple gift exchange. No need to buy anything, just bring something from home you are no longer using and we will exchange away. If you are coming or if you have any questions please email Christina Duncan (so we can get a headcount for the ornaments). Oh, and all the above activities are optional. Feel free to just bring yourself!
- Our own Dr. Richard Fish will be on the radio on December 29th, sharing his wisdom concerning "Getting out of Credit Card debt" on ENC's iThink Radio.
