Advent Dinner

In the spirit of Advent, our Christian Education Commission is planning an Advent Potluck Dinner immediately after church on Sunday, December 3. Chicken and beverages will be provided. We are asked to a bring side dish and/or dessert to share.

By the tender mercy of our God,

the dawn from on high will break upon us,

to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,

to guide our feet into the way of peace.  Luke 1:78-79

In order to share the “tender mercy of our God” we will be handing out Reverse Advent Calendars and bags. For every day of Advent we will be invited to place an item in a specially-decorated bag that will help those in need, “to give light to those who sit in darkness.”

Again this year we will be collecting children’s outerwear and clothing for distribution by South Mountain Health Clinic. Mittens and gloves, hats and scarves will decorate the Christmas tree.

We will again be writing Christmas cards to Brethren Volunteer Service workers and cutting out fabric for children’s blankets. Children’s activities will include making bird feeders, cards, and decorating our Reverse Advent bags.

The event will close with devotions.  Come, enjoy this special time with our church family.
