Gathering Spaces
A team has been formed to work on an aesthetic update to our gathering spaces (the parlor area and main entry hallway). We have been working with a local designer and have begun by painting. We will gradually add furniture and other accessories. Please feel free to direct questions about this project to: Leanne Backmeyer, Mary Alice Bolser, Doug Jamison, or Dave Sheets
Longest Night Service – December 21st at 6:00pm
When we look at one another, many of us expect to see a smile on another person’s face and a twinkle in their eye. However, for many, Christmas can feel more like a season of great darkness and shadows. The longest and for many most difficult night of the year is December 21st. The Longest Night Service (sometimes referenced as Blue Christmas) will offer us a way to claim those feelings and still feel surrounded by the compassionate love of God.
