Two events coming in December!
SHARE THE JOY
Our annual Christmas celebration, Share the Joy, will be held Sunday, December 2, 5-8 PM, at New Life Church in West Linn! We begin at 5 with a few announcements and instructions, but the rest of the evening belongs to you. Enjoy space for conversation, festive treats and warm drinks. Peruse book ideas and resources to help you dig into God’s Word in 2019. Create an optional simple craft. Best of all, quietly reflect on the advent of Jesus Christ at stations in the auditorium, each with a reading and original artwork. Take home an Advent booklet by Joyce Schroeder to continue your personal reflection on Christ during the Christmas season. If you can’t make it at 5, come when you can, and stay as long as you like. Bring a friend and join us!
1st Thursday CONNECT
It’s almost time again for 1st Thursday CONNECT, our monthly gathering. It’s cold; it’s dark; it’s December. So we’re going to get cozy and have pizza and pajamas night! Put on something comfy and join us Thursday, December 6, 6:30-8:30 PM. After we eat, we will sip on cocoa, tie fleece blankets for Shepherd’s Door, learn from the book of Mark, and get ready to dive into Luke for Christmas.
Who might you ask to do One-to-One Bible Reading with you in December? There might be a new woman you could get to know, or a neighbor you could share Christ with this Christmas through the book of Luke.
If possible, let us know you are coming by signing up on our Facebook Event, sending an email, or by texting 503-720-7197. Before the busyness of the month sets in, it will be a joy to get together and anchor ourselves in God’s Word. We’re excited to share the evening with you!
