SERVICE OF WHOLENESS AND HEALING
Advent and Christmas are seasons of “joy to the world,” but when we are experiencing grief and struggle or dealing with other losses in our lives, this time of year can be difficult, or even lonely.  If this describes you or someone you know, we invite you to come to this special worship service on Wednesday, December 19 at 6:o0pm.  We gather in the Chapel to light candles, pray, and receive the gift of this Savior who comes to shine light in the darkness.
Please enter from Bank Street or Church Street by the playground.
