Nov 16- Scrooge- Bah Humbug!

'Ebenezer' is actually a name that means "Stone of Help"- which was a commemoration of God's help to Israel, and a reminder of the Lord's power and protection. Scrooge is anything BUT a commemoration of God's Help! As we explore this character and his nature- we can get a look at our own skepticism and personal doubts about this faith... and that's the first step in starting a path to finding Peace in Jesus! 

Nov 23- Christ the King Sunday!-  Marley- The Warning

Jacob Marley was Scrooge's partner in life and in his evening visit with Scrooge, he shows the importance of personal testimony as a means of helping others see the trouble that we are in! It's through seeing the truth in other people's stories, that we can realize the  opportunities that are before us!

Saturday Nov 29th @ 6:30pm

Saturday, Nov 29th @ 6:30pm

A Classic Christmas is not complete without a good telling of “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, a story of one man's last chance to make a change in his life that will change EVERYTHING.  This year, Rev John Ferris, who has been performing the Carol (from memory) for over 50yrs, will share the same (shorter) version Dickens himself used for public readings; serving as the narrator and ALL the characters!  Rev Ferris is only asking for a love offering from participants– which he will share with a benevolence in our area.  PUT THIS ON YOUR CALENDAR! 

Nov 30th- ​First Sunday of Advent- HOPE

The Spirit of Christmas Past is an opportunity for Scrooge to look at where he has been, and how his life shaped into the current place it is. We all look tot he past, sometimes with fondness and other times with regret. The Christmas Carol helps us to see that our past is not a measure of what we 'should be'- but in looking to our past, we get an understanding of where we still 'COULD BE'.  Hope is NOT a childish thing. It's a brilliant light that leads our way!

Dec  7th- Second Sunday of Advent- PEACE

The Spirit of Christmas Present is an opportunity for Scrooge to look at all that his life has become. Too often, we can feel trapped in our present... feeling conflicted and unable to move forward. Christ can be our Peace and our means to find a better future!

Dec 14- ​Third Sunday of Advent- Joy
               Church Christmas Pageant
               Christmas Sweater Sunday!
               Christmas Potluck- after 2nd service

Dec 24- Christmas Eve- 7pm   &  11pm (with Communion)
     - a time of classic carols, timeless Scriptures and (of course) a Silent Night by candlelight

Dec 28th - Sunday after Christmas- Redemption!

People on the outside of our faith struggle with the joy and amazing peace that exudes from Scrooge on the realization of his new life- and a new chance to live in Redemption. It's a glorious thing as we all live into a new day with Christ, our King.
