| Celebrating Advent and Christmas
We welcome you to participate in observances of the holy seasons of Advent and Christmas.
Dec 3 Advent begins - The season of preparation for the coming of Christ. Advent readings and lighting of Advent Candles during Sunday morning worship. Dec 3 Christmas Baskets and Potluck Lunch - We prepare fruit and snack baskets for approximately 25 seniors and shut-ins of the community. Church provides supplies – you’re invited to remain after lunch to help assemble baskets. Volunteers also needed to deliver baskets. Dec 3 Santa Fe Christmas on the Square at 3:30 p.m. - We gather as a community on SF Square to celebrate the season. Hot cocoa and cookies served. Bring a lawn chair or blanket. Note: you are welcome to park in the parsonage yard across from SF Square. Dec 17 Christmas Program 5:30 p.m. - Scripture readings, singing carols, and children’s presentation of the Nativity. Fellowship and refreshments afterward. Please bring finger foods and drinks to share.

Camp Garner Creek Fundraiser for Snack Shack
Camp Garner Creek has need to relocate the Snack Shack out of the flood plain. For 2024 CGC has a $50K goal to remodel a portion of the lower level of Redbud to accommodate the Snack Shack to a dry location. As part of the goal, they plan to also build a large pavilion next to the new Snack Shack as a gathering place for fellowship and food. Camp leadership hopes to have the project ready for the 2024 Camp Season that begins the final week of May.
If you have a tradition of making a year-end donation to a charity, consider gifting Camp Garner Creek.
Online giving available via this link.
