Sunday, 10:00 AM
Greetings! Joy to the World!
Please join us for worship at 10:00 AM, either in-person or virtually. This third Sunday in Advent is “Joy Sunday” when we Christians light the third Advent candle in joyful anticipation of Christ’s coming. We will sing songs of joy and hear about Apostle Paul’s wise and joyful words to the Philippians.

- On “Third is for Threads” Sunday (the third Sunday of each month), we collect used clothing and shoes and new undergarments for men, women, and children of all sizes and ages. Shoestrings are especially needed, as is business attire.
- If you wish to wish to donate or bring a floral arrangement suitable for display on a Sunday morning, you may do so (preferably after alerting the church office. Note that there is a sign-up sheet during fellowship for best ensuring that your floral arrangement is displayed on your preferred Sunday.
