Christmas Cantata December 14th

Join us as we journey with Joseph, Mary and the shepherds to Bethlehem to meet our savior in the manger once again. Two thousand years before Jesus was born, the city of Bethlehem was established. It was located in a very fertile area, and grains such as wheat and barley were grown there. In fact, Bethlehem is the city that Naomi and Ruth returned to after the death of Naomi’s sons. Ruth gleaned grain from the fields and the two were redeemed by Boaz. The name Bethlehem literally translates as “House of Bread.” Travel with us to meet the Bread of Life, our redeemer, who comes to us as a baby born in a manger in this house of bread.

The cantata will be presented as part of the Sunday morning worship service.

Christmas Caroling

Sunday, December 14th we will go Christmas caroling and take the joy of Christmas to all our members who are unable to attend worship. We will have a soup lunch in the parish hall immediately following worship and then go caroling. Mark your calendars and plan to join us. Contact Angela Nuottila to let her know that you will attend and if you are able to provide a pot of soup or a pan of cornbread.
