Face to Face:
An Advent Contemplation Cantata

Sunday, December 14
9 and 11 am

What does the blindingly resplendent, forbidden-to-be-seen face of God have in common with the scrunched up, cone-headed, bright pink countenance of a newborn baby? And why does such a reality stir our deepest longing and kindle our greatest hope? Worship Arts Ministry invites you to contemplate these questions with us in worship on Sunday, December 14 at 9 and 11 o’clock in the morning. There will be no 7.45 worship on this day.

Estimate of Giving

Each year, we rededicate ourselves as a reply to Christ’s beautiful grace. We’ll make our financial commitments and also offer the places where we might like to serve in the future. An online Estimate of Giving card is below, will be mailed to all members and are available in the pew racks.
