Upcoming events

Today, we heard from Jon Damaska about having peace through troubled times. It is the second Sunday in Advent, and we lit the candle of peace.

Next Sunday, Scott Yuille will speak on On Earth vs. In Earth. We'll light the third candle of Advent, the pink candle of JOY!

The Presbyterians have invited members to join them next Sunday (the 17th) after the service for a soup potluck and a Christmas escape room event.

On Christmas Eve, we'll light the Christ candle and share Christmas memories, carols and scriptures.

There will be no Christmas Eve candlelight service at Faith on Christmas, but members have been invited to join the Presbyterian Church at 5 p.m. for their candlelight service.
