Movie: Children of Men
It is 2006 dystopian action thriller film. Children of Men explores the themes of hope and faith in the face of overwhelming futility and despair. The film has been noted for its use of Christian symbolism; critics compared the characters of Theo and Kee with Joseph and Mary, calling the film a “modern-day Nativity story”.
This movie is rated R. Parental/Parishioner Discretion is advised
Bring food and enjoy the movie!

Christmas Eve Service

Blessing of the Toys
Sunday, January 5th, at 10:00 am
When God made Adam and Eve and placed them in the garden, he put them in charge of taking good care of the earth. They named the animals and began to work with the land. Ever since then, girls and boys, women and men have enjoyed not only work but also play.
God gave us the ability to make games and invent toys to help us enjoy ourselves and enjoy growing in our love for each other. The tradition of Christmas gifts for children began with Magi from the East, who brought little Jesus three gifts of delight. So today, let us bring our favorite toy and bring them forward for a special blessing.
Twelfth Night Party

What is it: It is the last night of the Christmas season, the eve of Epiphany, when the Magi arrived
How we will celebrate: Songs and music, Christingles, Magi Crafts, Christmas “Crackers,” lots of laughter and fun.
What to bring: Ready to start your new “diet”? Bring all the sweets, candy, cheese, and crackers, ice cream, colas, punch, whatever needs to come out of your house!
Adult Education Class for Advent
Sundays, December 8th, 15th and 22nd, at 8:45 am in the Activities Room
The Spirit of Hope: An Exploration of What it Means to Expect God–the Good, the Beautiful, the True, the Awesome–to be Born into this World
Over the four Sundays of Advent–the season of hope and expectation–we will discuss what hope means for each of us in the light of our scripture and our Advent traditions. We will also dig into the profound little book, The Spirit of Hope, by the philosopher Byung-Chul Han. As Han puts it: “Amid problem solving and crisis management, life withers. It becomes survival. The breathless survival society is like a terminal patient trying everything to find a cure. But only hope can give us back that life that is more than mere survival. It is hope that opens up a meaningful horizon that reinvigorates and inspires life. Hope presents us with a future.”

Goodwill Voucher’s Program
Please help us with the Good Samaritan program at Goodwill. When you donate items to them, please bring along a yellow donation form from the church office. Goodwill will then send the church vouchers that we hand out to people that can use them. These vouchers work the same as cash at all Goodwill stores and provide some much needed items to people in our community. The yellow donation slips are located on the brown table outside the church office.
The church receives multiple phone calls every day from people that need those vouchers!
