**Celebration of Advent Program – Sunday, December 8 at 2:00 p.m. – We are doing something a bit different this year with having a “request program” format. If anyone is interested in singing a song or two (can be solo, or with others), playing an instrumental holiday tune or if you have the gift of telling or reading a Christmas story or maybe a group could do a short skit. We welcome you and your ideas. Please let Merna Bye know by Nov. 15. Also, ask others from outside our congregation as well (family, friends, neighbors). Thanks for considering sharing your talents or contacting and encouraging someone you know to be a part of our Advent Celebration.
