Welcome back to “What’s Happening”! Three cheers for the brave people who ventured out into the early morning snow!

Songs today were “Hark the Herald “O Come All Ye Faithful”, “God With Us”, “Christmas Offering “, and “Even So Come”.

Today is the second Sunday of Advent, and the Denwood family read scripture and lit the Candle Of Peace.

Today’s message was delivered by Pastor Billy using text from John 16. (You can watch this and past messages by going to the home page and clicking WATCH.)

Women’s Christmas dinner party was an outstanding success Friday evening! Brenda Hajek truly deserves a standing ovation for her months of thought and preparation for the wonderful lasagna supper and program! She and her team of volunteers went miles beyond what was expected to send guests home with full tummies and full hearts. There was a message, holiday music, cookie exchange, and numerous high quality prize baskets won at each table. Thank you to Pastor Bob and his crew of men who dressed up and served the women. Thank you to all you set up, dressed up, showed up, stepped up, cleaned up, and stayed up praying for this event. God was definitely in it. We had so many visitors, too!

Thanks to all who donated to the food bank collection this morning!

Wasn’t the church gorgeous today? Big round of applause to Faith Cromwell and her decorating team for beautifying the sidewalk planters and the sanctuary. That took a lot of hours and lot of willing workers!
