Advent is a season designed for stepping away from the often-frantic pace that characterizes this time of year. It offers us an opportunity to embrace a slower rhythm, take a moment to breathe, and refocus on the profound love and goodness of God.  Each year, we plan an activity for families to celebrate the season of Advent.  Advent family devotionals are available in the sanctuary and in the Elementary Room.

We will be providing Christmas Food Baskets again this year to anyone who has a need.  The contents of the basket are for a Christmas meal.  If you or someone you know, would benefit from a basket please contact Kim Hidalgo at khidalgo@churchrefuge.com by December 7 and provide the number of people who will be served by the meal.  Baskets will be available in mid-December.

Our children's special performance will be held on Sunday, December 14th at 11:00 AM. Please practice singing Away in a Manger at home.

We will deliver sweet treats to our neighbors immediately following the 11:00 AM service on Sunday, December 14.  Please plan to join us as we continue our Christmas tradition.

We will be having our Christmas Eve services on Tuesday, December 23 and Wednesday, December 24 at 7:00 PM.
