Worship With Us – Nov. and Dec. 2016

In October, we began a six-week sermon series based on Adam Hamilton’s book Half Truths: God Helps Those Who Help Themselves and Others Things The Bible Doesn’t Say.

The season of Advent begins November 27 when we’ll follow the Revised Common Lectionary as we prepare ourselves for Christmas, and the coming of Emmanuel, “God with us.”

Come Early for Christmas Day Worship

This year, Christmas day falls on a Sunday. To celebrate the birth of our Lord, we will meet early, at 8 am, on Christmas day, for a short informal service of carols and a Christmas meditation before returning to our homes to celebrate with family and friends.

New Year’s Love Feast

On New Year’s Day, the first Sunday of January, we’ll gather in the Sanctuary for one service, 10 am, for a Wesleyan Covenant Service and Love Feast. Come bring in the New Year with the worship of our Lord, “our help in ages past and hope for years to come!”
