Advent Dinner – 2019
Please join us for another wonderful Advent Dinner on Sunday, December 8th. It is a festive and meaningful way to start the Christmas season and includes a catered meal, lots of fun and fellowship, and the long-awaited Christmas pageant by our preschoolers through 5th graders. After dinner we will join together in singing Christmas carols around the yule log with family and friends. There is no charge to attend this amazing event, but a free will donation is always welcome.

The Senior High Youth will be selling Village Inn Pie Cards on Sunday mornings, before and after both services, November 17 until December 8. For a donation of $15, the pie card will get you ANY pie at Village Inn! This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase a pie for Thanksgiving or Christmas. The pie cards make great gifts for teachers, co-workers, neighbors and friends! All proceeds will go to the Senior High Mission Trip to Lawrence, Kansas next June. Thank you in advance for your ongoing support!
