It’s the beginning of Advent and the beginning of our Advent sermon series, What a Beautiful Name It Is, where we’ll explore the different names of Jesus and what they mean to us as Christians.
The first name is Prince of Peace. Jesus came to earth to bring Peace and as Christians we’re called to be peacemakers. What does that look like in practice? How can we experience peace and bring peace in such a divided, turbulent world?
Cold weather is here, so let’s make sure that heads and hands are warm. The tree is up. Let’s fill those branches with warm hats, mittens, gloves, and scarves of all sizes. In the next few weeks, deliveries will be made to Love Inc, Carriage Town Ministries, and our local schools.
Join us in this mission and offer a hat and gloves if you know someone in need. Sponsored by the United Women in Faith.
Open Pickleball – Mondays, from 7:00-9:00 p.m.
Come join us for several weeks of Open Pickleball in the Family Life Center. No experience is necessary. We will be playing 2-on-2 pickleball with a couple of nets open. This is “low impact fun” for everyone.
See what all the buzz is about…for people of all ages. Bring your paddles if you have them.
