In the Bleak Midwinter….

Our time of waiting draws to a close with the annual Christmas Eve candlelight service which will be held on 24 Dec at 11:00PM.  It will be preceded by a Christmas Eve concert at 10:15PM.  Join us as we celebrate the human birth of Jesus Christ.

Cookie Walk 2013

Our annual cookie walk is this Sat, 14 Dec @ 9:00AM.  Considered by many to be the best Cookie Walk in Fairfield County.  All the proceeds are used for mission projects, so come early, some years we’ve sold out in about 90 minutes.  Also check out our Facebook event at https://www.facebook.com/events/408055559323607/

From a Distance

Pastor Dennis’ sermon from 8 Dec.  A message of selflessness as personified by Nelson Mandela and others.  Our apologies, we lost the first 20 seconds or so of the sermon due to technical difficulties.  Also, for license reasons (and because you really need to see the visuals), the song has been cut from the audio and the video is available separately at the first link below.

Thanksgiving

Painting by Karen Rinaldo, http://www.karenrinaldogallery.com/historic.html On this Thanksgiving Day, we pause to give thanks to God for all the many blessings that we have received.  Enjoy the day with your friends and family and remember that there are many in our midst for whom the holidays are not a happy time.  God bless you, all.
