Light in the Midst of Darkness – 12/9

By

For many of us, Christmas can be a bittersweet time of year. It’s a time of great joy! Yet, it can also be a time for remembering persons and events that have been a part of our lives in the past, but that are now changed or gone. In this season with the longest nights, we’ll gather during December’s Sabbath service for a quiet, meditative worship service that makes time for remembering, sharing our hurting places with God, and preparing our hearts for the coming of Christ. Join us on December 9 at 5:00pm in the sanctuary or online for a candlelit time of music, scripture, silent reflection, communion, and prayer. (Note for our online worshipers: if you’re able to do so, in addition to communion elements please gather a candle and something with which to light it.)

During worship on Sunday, November 19, we will be joined by Matthew Fast, the executive director of the Idaho Community Reinvestment Corporation. We will hear about exciting opportunities to partner with this local nonprofit organization that is doing interesting work with regards to the underhoused in Idaho.

This is also an excellent opportunity to meet Matt Fast, who has joined us in a significant project we called “Carpenter’s Gift” earlier in the year.
