Joy to the World! And happy new year - happy new church year, that is. Advent marks the beginning of the church year, which seems very appropriate since Advent means "coming." During Advent, we celebrate the coming of Jesus in to the world and we celebrate it in many ways. Check out our Calendar page to see the variety of worship and fellowship opportunities!
Many people find that this is a perfect time to begin or renew attending church. With all the uncertainty going on in the world, wouldn't it be great to find a place where there is a sense of peace; a place where people care and serve one another; and a place that not only accepts you as you are, but helps you become the best "you" possible? Come visit us and see if this might be that place.
Thanks to all the church members and people of the community that took part in our 10,000 Villages Fair Trade Sale. Over $2,000.00 of merchandise was sold, with the proceeds going directly to the artisans that made them. At Ten Thousand Villages, they work with over 130 artisan groups in more than 38 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America to bring you fair trade jewelry, home decor, gifts and more. As one of the world's oldest and largest fair trade organizations, they build long-term relationships with artisans that are based on mutual understanding and respect. Fair trade enables artisans to earn a fair wage and provides the opportunity for a better quality of life.
