Soup for Teachers at Asbury Elementary, Wednesday, December 18 at 10am – Help us bring some warmth and nourishment to our local educators and school staff! Bring a crockpot of soup if you can or just come and help serve. See Jan Spencer or call the church office for details.
Blue Christmas Service, Saturday, December 21, at 5pm: If you don’t always feel “merry and bright” during the holidays, whether because you’re grieving a loved one or some other reason, this is a time when we can come together for honest prayer, and encounter God’s comfort and love. All are welcome.
No-Rehearsal Children’s Christmas Pageant, Sunday, December 22, at 10am: Children up to 12 years old are invited to take part in (or watch) our simple presentation of the story of Jesus’ birth. No rehearsals, no lines to memorize, just entering in costume. Arrive at 9am for children to put on costumes and receive instructions. Contact the church office for details, 757-851-2040.
