Season of Advent

The Season of Advent

The first Sunday of Advent is November 29. What is our theme for Advent when Pastor Tari has spent time at a sheep sanctuary during her sabbatical? SHEEP (of course).

Advent Brunches

We are planning Sunday-morning Advent brunches.  This is such a special time together so please plan on staying after worship for brunch. We eat, do a fun devotion and craft, and then there is rehearsal for folks in the Christmas play and choir (stay tuned for more about the play and choir).  We need four volunteers to lead sheep crafts each Sunday.

Here are the themes for each Sunday (and the group providing brunch):

November 29  - Psalm 23       

Fellowship Committee                       

December 6 - Nathan’s Sheep Story

Men’s Group                                      

December 13 – Lamb on the Throne 

Friday Devotions Crew

December 20 – Sheep Hear the Good News

Teens                                                  

Advent Devotions

Our Advent devotions written by you all and released on the app and website will also be about sheep. Please sign up to write and if you would like to do so, send a photo to include with your devotion.  A devotion typically has a short prayer, a story or thoughts based on the theme and some questions to ponder. Let us know in the church office if you have questions. The sign-up sheet is at this link: Advent Devotion Sign-Up

FYI. The Season of Advent also begins the new year in the church. We will move from the Gospel of Matthew to the Gospel of Mark.
