Advent
Every Sunday at 11AM, starting November 30th

Join us as we enter the season of Advent, a time of anticipation and reflection. This year, our Advent sermon series, NATIVITY, A Promise Fulfilled, which focuses on Luke, Chapter One, exploring God’s fulfillment of two remarkable promises: the miraculous birth of a child to Elizabeth and Zechariah, and, of course, the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Come and experience the hope, joy, and wonder of this sacred season with our church family.

*NEW* Garland Party/200 feet Project!
Saturday, December 6th, 9AM-12PM

Let’s kick off the holiday season with festive fellowship and a fun challenge for a good cause! This year, we’re setting an audacious goal — to string 200 feet of fresh garland along Walnut Hill’s beautiful stone entrance and gates for Christmas. We’d love your help to make it happen! All ages are welcome — no crafting skills required! Come anytime between 9 and noon to help string a few feet of garland while enjoying warm drinks, tasty nibbles, and great company. We’ll provide the wire and greenery; just bring your own clippers, gloves, family, and friends!

And don’t forget your SOCKS! Our partners at The Nathaniel Mission and The Catholic Action Center are in need of winter socks for those experiencing homelessness. We’re aiming to collect or purchase 100 pairs — that’s 200 feet?! We can do this!
