In me shine, Jesus mine!”

On November 30, the First Sunday of Advent, the Christian Education and Family Ministry Team, with the assistance

The entire congregation is invited to gather in Fellowship Hall for a mission project, nativity-themed crafts, packing sharable treats, and celebrating it 

all with a Lovefeast of sugar cake and chocolate milk! 

If possible, please donate a batch of cookies or other specialties to be packaged and shared with homebound friends and neighbors in need of good cheer.
