I was excited to send you Christmas greetings from the whole staff. We’d gathered, 8 out of 10 present in Zoom’s little boxes. Our hair was coiffed, our backgrounds free of paper piles, and 1 of us had even pushed pause on their vacation to be part of wishing all of you the spirit of the season.

The Mission and Social Justice Board would like to offer a special thank you to the donor artists participating in the Broken for Beauty Auction. Christen Mattix, Laura Norton, and Lyz Staman all answered our church's call for help immediately.

Remember those panels that artists painted to cover the broken windows at our church? Those panels are being auctioned off in a virtual auction. The proceeds from the auction will be shared by two agencies serving those with mental illness.

Your family is invited to join us for an interactive zoom story time every Tuesday at 6:30 pm. Children are invited to get their pj's on and settle in to hear a story before bedtime.

Advent is here, and it’s a meaningful season to invite a friend to join you for worship. Consider sharing this video invitation with someone (or on social media)—then have a conversation with them about what you both experienced. We’ll all light our candles together.
