Last Sunday we lit the second candle on our community Advent wreath, the candle of Love. We're reminded that the love of God is a love that gives all, sacrifices everything, and thinks of the loved before the lover.
This coming Sunday, the third of Advent, we'll light the candle of joy.

Potluck
Sunday, 12/21, after worship - Here's a note from Carol Newell:
Hello Everyone!
The Christmas Potluck is coming up in 11 days! It makes sense to get the sign up sheet out. I will post one on the bulletin board in the Newell Gathering Room for Sunday but if you won't be there or would like to let me know what you'd like to bring I will update the list (e-mail).
That day will be special for all of us. I understand the kids have something planned and I have something special planned for the kids. So come and enjoy the friendship of each other!

Christmas Eve Family Worship
Wednesday, 12/24, 6:00 PM - If you're in town, would you plan on worshiping together as a family-community for Christmas Eve? We'll worship for about an hour in traditional candle-lit fashion. On the eve of our celebration of the incarnation, what better way to know God's light than to be together as his people?
