Advent services
On Wednesday evenings in December our school children will lead us in Advent services to help us prepare for Christmas!
Advent is Latin for "coming" and it is the time of the church that we wait for the coming of the Christ child at Christmas as we also wait for the final coming of Christ!
The Advent services are as follows:
Wednesday, December 6: PreK Preschool classes and Kindergarten
(Tree lighting service)
Wednesday, December 13: First, Second and Third grades
Wednesday, December 20: Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth grades
All services begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary.
