CALLING ALL ADULTS!!!—Sign-up Now for the Church-wide ADVENT STUDY!
How might you have felt if you were Zechariah or Elizabeth, Mary or Joseph? What if you had been an angel, a shepherd, or one of the wise men? In an innovative approach to the stories of Advent, we will be invited to become part of the events surrounding the birth of the Christ child. Each week, we will enter into the story for a while, exploring it from the perspective of its central figures.
This church-wide Advent study, “Taste and See,” will be offered to kids during Children’s Church, youth during Youth Group, and preached from on Sundays during Advent. Adults have the opportunity to participate by signing-up for one of the weekly adult classes listed below.
