Fourth Sunday of Advent, December 21, 2025

Christmas Worship—Our Christmas Eve service will begin at 7:00pm. This year’s service will be extra special with involvement of our youth—you won’t want to miss it! Our Christmas Day service is at 9:30am in the chapel. And for Christmas 1 (12/28) our Morning Prayer service will include our “carols by request” carol sing-along tradition.
Fellowship and Movement—This is a reminder that Steve Singiser invites you to join him on Wednesday mornings at 10:30 in Nourse Hall for some fun activity and warm company with good friends. Be a part of a ministry that will move you, body and soul!
Office Closures in December—We will be closed December 25 & 26 for Christmas. We will also be closed December 31 and January 1 for New Year’s. The hours on Christmas Eve, December 24 may be flexible (or closed), so please call ahead if you need to visit.
Annual Reports—Ministry leaders are warned to prepare their reports for the 2025 Annual Report book. Reports will need to be submitted by January 9, 2026.
Ministry Volunteer Needs—Now that we have begun the liturgical new year, this is a grand time to consider taking on a role in our worship ministries. We have a particular need for altar guild, ushers, livestream techs and chalice assistants (which has some specific requirements, so please speak with Mother Sarah if interested). You can speak to Wendy for more information; Melissa Alarie can train you on the livestream devices, and Larry Patrick can share about ushering duties.
Blue Christmas Worship—Ecumenical Blue Christmas Service this Sunday (Sunday, 12/21) at 4pm-Grace Congregational UCC is hosting a worship service for individuals and communities who, for whatever reason, are not feeling as joyful and cheery as the season sparkles for others. The service will take place in the main Sanctuary and Mother Sarah will be there to assist.
