Advent is a time of spiritual preparation to make ready for the coming of the Lord! Begin your preparation as a family this year, by joining us in the Worship Center for our Advent Celebration, Sunday, November 29th at 3:00 pm. $10 per family will cover the supplies to make your Advent Wreath. There will be other crafts as well, along with cookies and a hot chocolate bar!

Would you like to adopt a child for the holidays through MadCAAP? These children have parents who have completed 12 hours of educational classes in order to make better lives for their families through the MadCAAP 'New Attitudes' program. There will be a table set up in the Worship Center with names and wish-lists beginning this Sunday, or contact Nan Moak to provide for a child this year.
