TREE
LIGHTING
Next Sunday, November 29th at 5pm
You are invited to come to the church and join us for a special tree lighting. It seems that the tree in front of the church
used to be lit every Christmas season but hasn't been for quite some time now. This year we are lighting the tree again. The
lights will be put up during the week and then on the 29th - which is the 1st Sunday in Advent - we will turn the lights on
and sing some carols. We will then do some caroling in the neighborhood, coming back to the church by 6:30 for some hot drinks
and Christmas goodies.
Hope
you can join us!

cold weather sets in. All donations will be greatly appreciated!
