Happy Thanksgiving to all!
As we begin our journey to Christmas, here are a few things to make note of:
First:
There will be NO Discipleship classes this Sunday, November 25th.
Second:
Advent begins next Sunday, December 2, 2018. Our Advent preparations begin Saturday, December 1st at 5:30 p.m. and continue each Saturday in December. December 1st, after a covered dish meal we will make Advent materials to take home. We will begin each subsequent Saturday at 5:30 p.m. with Evening Prayer and share an optional covered dish meal. See the CtR Website under “Come,” then “Service Times” for more information.
Third:
During each Sunday in Advent, the Lighting of the Advent Wreath will take place promptly at 10:15 a.m. The doors to the Sanctuary will be closed prior to the start of the service and, for the sake of the liturgy, late-comers must wait to enter until the completion of the wreath lighting, so please plan to arrive accordingly.
Other events during Advent:
Our Annual General Meeting will be held Sunday, December 9th immediately after worship. We will share a covered dish meal, celebrate and give thanks for 2018 at CtR and plan/pray for 2019. All are encouraged to attend.
