Date: Sunday, November 30
Time: During worship ~11am we’ll shift from the Sanctuary to Duntreath

Continue worshipping with us as we engage in a family-friendly event with crafts, service projects, and fellowship for all ages.

Here’s what to look forward to:

Advent Wreath Craft: Create a simple wreath with candles, scripture cards, and weekly devotionals for your family.

New! Hot Drink Recipe Contest: Try our favorite hot drinks and join the new Recipe Contest. Bring your best ready-to-serve drink and a written recipe before worship begins at 1030am. All ages are welcome to participate in the contest. Taste, vote by noon, and find out who wins right after.

Outreach Projects:
Help us spread Christmas cheer through acts of service:

Write notes and Christmas cards to our homebound members.

Send messages and invitations to families who attended VBS this summer.

Help us put together care packages for college students with small gifts and encouraging notes.

If you can, please donate items like Tide-to-Go pens, laundry pods, tea bags, candles, candy, tissues, or handwritten notes. To ensure safety and appropriateness, please avoid any homemade food items and consider donating allergy-friendly items where possible. Bring your donations to the collection table by 10:30 AM. We welcome all supplies, and any extras will go into more packages.

Chrismon Ornament Table: Learn about Chrismons and make your own ornament to share with family.

Poinsettia and Devotional Table: Pick up an Advent devotional and purchase a poinsettia in honor or memory of a loved one.

We need your help to make the Advent Fair a success!
Christian Formation Committee members will staff some stations, but we need more volunteers for setup, crafts, refreshments, and hospitality.

EARTHCARE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
Every year, the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay (a non-profit organization whose mission it so restore the lands and waters in the Bay watershed) invites businesses, community groups, and individual volunteers to participate in “Project Clean Stream”- the largest trash pickup initiative in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Last year, volunteers collected almost 23 tons of trash!
The Earth Care Team invites Tuckahoe members and friends to join this year’s Richmond kick-off clean up on Friday, April 12, from 2:00 – 4:00 PM. The more the merrier – and the more trash we can pick up.  You can find the full details, location, and the link to register here.  The clean up location is at Crooked Branch Ravine Park.  This park is on the southside, off of Forest Hill Avenue, just a few blocks from Forest Hill Park (there is a map at the link above).
If you are interested in participating, sign up at the link above (and make sure you enter the number of people you are registering or the system will not accept the registration).  High school students are also welcome and the Alliance will certify volunteer hours.  Tuckahoe participants who want to carpool should meet in the church parking lot at 1:30 PM.  If you have any questions, please email or call Heather Stevenson at hstevenson@mcguirewoods.com or 804-310-3069.
