Throughout our Advent worship series we have been invited to turn toward the plight of those suffering in the Holy Land today, and consider how we might be called to loving action. 10% of our Christmas Eve offerings will benefit Hope Foundation's emergency winter aid fundraiser.
Hope Foundation is a volunteer-run, Palestinian-led nonprofit working to provide food, healthcare, shelter, and essential supplies at Palestinians displaced by the genocide. Donations to this fundraiser will help them get blankets, tents, winter coats and hygiene kits to families in Gaza.

Worship this Sunday,
December 28
at 10:00 am
|
Come join us for a relaxed, post Christmas celebration as we share Christmas stories, poems, scripture and songs.
It will be a chance to laugh and share the joys of Christmastime, with lots of music. We'll be singing favorite carols and Diana will be taking requests.
We invite you to share a personal story of the season.
If you have an idea of something you would like to share (or request) in advance, please reach out to me so I can include it in the order of the service. You are also welcome to just volunteer on the spot once you are among church friends on Sunday morning.
May you all have a blessed Christmas!
