Greetings in Christ! First off, don't forget our Wednesday activities tonight: community dinner at 6:00 and Bible study at 7:00. Tonight we'll look at the Colossian hymn as we head for Christ the King Sunday.
Speaking of Christ the King Sunday (November 22), this is the last Sunday of the church year! That means that the Sunday after (November 29th) brings the beginning of Advent. Can you believe it?!
This will be a special Sunday for a number of reasons:
- In the morning (10:30 AM), we will celebrate Christ as King together with a gathering around His table. Come prepared for a bit of a different gathering of worship than we're used to on Sunday morning, as the team from The Remembrance will be leading us. We will also be handing out our next Community Scripture Way, as the readings begin on Monday for the first week of Advent.
- In the evening (6:00 PM), we will have a "Hymn-Sing." Come prepared to sing and don't forget to think about what hymn you'd like to "request." We haven't done this in a while; should be fun. Pastor Jeremy will also be bringing a little bit of history of hymnology.
- After the hymn-sing, we'll eat some ice cream together and then "Hang the Greens" in our church building (AKA decorating for Advent). We need some volunteers to bring a tub of ice cream and everyone else to bring one topping (e-mail Pastor Jeremy to volunteer to bring the ice cream).
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
See you soon!
