Sunday, December 2nd  4:00 PM 
Chrismon Service
The service begins with the congregation placing their white and gold Chrismon ornaments, a continue reminder of God's greatest gift to us, on the tree.  
At the same time, members of the congregation may bring up unwrapped gifts of clothes and toys to be placed under the tree for children in need.

The children and youth of the church will then recreate the Nativity Story to lead us into the Christmas season.
Sunday Nov. 11th - Church School Food Drive
Our church school students collected 29 bags of food for the Center for Food Action, Englewood in their November 11th Thanksgiving food drive.  

They chose to emphasize the most-urgently needed items rather than only focusing on Thanksgiving meals 

Here's part of the lineup

Great job!
