Adult Ed. – Holy Land Tour

By

Paul Whitted will be leading discussions of video tours of the Holy Land of the Old Testament by Ray Vander Laan, who is a historian, archeologist and Bible teacher. Ray has always believed that to better understand and appreciate the Bible, you have to have a sense of the land and the culture from which it sprang.

For people who have not been to the Holy Lands, these lessons provide a way to see the places talked about in the Bible. For people who have already been to the Holy Lands, these lessons can provide additional information and
also allow them to share their impressions of this part of the world.

These classes meet weekly on Sundays after Coffee Hour in the Genesis Room. Please feel free to join us at any time!

2nd Tuesday of each month at 11:30am — Casa Mexico, Fairview
4th Tuesday of each month at 11:30am — Life’s Kitchen

Christmas Day is on a Sunday this year?! Yes—we will still gather for worship! Join us for a casual, abbreviated worship service. We’ll take the opportunity to sing some favorite Christmas carols as we celebrate the gifts of Christmas. People of all ages are encouraged to don their Christmas pajamas for worship.

Those looking for some table fellowship on Christmas morning are invited to stay after worship for coffee and a light breakfast in the narthex.

Advent Wholeness Service – 12/10 at 5:00pm

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 10 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.)
