Dear Friends in Christ,

This evening, we had a multi-church celebration of the Advent and Christmas Seasons.  We sang.  We prayed.  We listened to the Word of God.  We were in St Anne’s parish hall.  We went to people’s houses.  Good food.  Good fellowship.  A great affirmation of the fact that when we come together in Christ, we truly become the body of Christ.  Thank you to everyone who shared their homes, prepared the food, set up and cleaned up.

Pictures of the festivities are attached.

Tomorrow, December 20 @ Zion, we have a Live Nativity with music and a petting zoo.

Wednesday,  December 24 we have Christmas Eve services at St Anne’s and Zion

Thursday, December 25, we have a simple Eucharist at Zion at 11 am.

Monday & Tuesday, December 29 & 30 we have an icon painting and weaving workshop at St Anne’s (9 am – 12 pm). This is for teenagers and adults.  Call your church office to sign up.

Faithfully yours,

Rebecca
