Dec. 10: Advent as Courage/Proposed 2026 Ministry Plan
Hope, peace, joy, and love: The four themes of Advent are less soft emotions than disciplines that require courage, tenacity, steadiness in the face of risk, and conviction about God’s good purposes. With Diane Lipsett and Rick Vinson as guides, we’ll turn to stories of Mary, Joseph, and an angel bearing a message (Luke 1:26-38 and Matthew 1:16,18-25) to reflect on courage in Advent 2025.
We’ll also welcome the Finance Committee to lead us through the Proposed Ministry Plan for 2026. Copies of the plan will be available on Sunday, Dec. 7, and Dec. 10.
Note: There will be no open gym on Dec. 10.
Please join us for a fellowship meal from 5:15 to 6 PM.
From 6 to 7 PM on most Wednesdays, following announcements and prayer, we engage various topics of faith with speakers, panels, and group discussion. Please see our youth and children’s ministry pages for information about concurrent programming for these ages.
