Blue Christmas – The Longest Night
Posted November 26, 2019 By adminChristmas is not always a joyous time for everyone. Each year, there are some who will experience the Christmas celebration for the first time without a cherished loved one. There are also others who will find themselves facing difficult circumstances in life or loneliness. Still, the love of God out shines even the darkest night.
Once again, on the longest night of the year, we will gather for worship and give thinks for the light of Christ, especially as He comes to us at Christmas. Our entire church family, friends, neighbors and community is invited and encouraged to attend this candlelight service. Please be sure to tell others about this worship opportunity of prayer, peace and the power of God’s love. Worship for Blue Christmas begins at 6:30 PM on Saturday, December 21st.

In keeping with the worship time of our Wednesday Evening Light, Advent Vespers will begin at 6:30 PM.
Up and Going
Posted November 26, 2019 By adminOn Thursday, Nov 14th Up and Going had 18 members and guests gather in the Fellowship Hall to enjoy an early Thanksgiving.
- Business was conducted, and the Treasurer’s Report was given by Bob.
- The meeting schedule for 2020 was distributed and discussed.
- Gary gave a very interesting devotional on giving thanks. We read responsively “A Family Prayer of Thanks”.
- Helen gave a prayer of thanks for the bountiful and delicious meal prepared for our enjoyment.
- After lunch, Helen read a Helen Steiner Rice poem entitled “A Special Thank You”. She also read a hymn of Thanksgiving and Harvest.
- We collected the recipes that each had brought for our cookbook. We talked freely about the origins of these recipes and the customs of past Thanksgivings. This discussion brought back precious memories of our loved ones.
- Helen thanked all for the generous gifts of food for We Care.
- The December Meeting will be held on the Dec 12th at 11 AM in the Fellowship Hall. Please bring Holiday food for sharing and 3 items of non-perishable food for We Care. This will be our gift to each other this year. Joan will have devotions.
Hope to see you then.
