The Fellowship Committee is pleased to announce that the next kick-off session of the Gathering Groups is happening on Sunday, September 21.

As a reminder, the Gathering Groups will provide an opportunity for people to get together for dinner, lunch, attend a play or musical, visit a winery, etc.

We have made one change to the sign-up form; there will now be space to let us know if you would prefer getting together Mornings/Afternoons/ Evenings/Weekends/Anytime.  This will help the Committee better group people based on their availability.

SIGN-UP BELOW, then join us Sunday, September 21^st , in Duntreath from 5:00-6:00pm to meet your new group members and share Dessert and Coffee. Gathering groups are encouraged to meet once a month for 6 months, and then new groups will be formed.  Like the Group you are already in?  Feel free to join a 2^ndGroup!

Advent Fair 2025 | Sunday, November 30

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!
