NOON PRAYER
We are bringing back a well-loved expression for this Advent season: noon prayer on Zoom. Every weekday during Advent, we'll be sharing 10 minutes of prayer at noon on Zoom. Set your alarm and join us!
Sunday Morning Coffee time
Covid led us to stop serving coffee, but this December, we're bringing it back for a limited time only! Get to the gathering a little early, grab a cup of delicious Cafe Justo coffee (or tea, or hot chocolate) and spend some time catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. Coffee will be available at 10am!
Longest night reflective service
Tuesday, December 21st at Aspira 7pm
The Holiday season is difficult for many. On the longest night of the year, we take time to acknowledge that long nights are a painful but true part of our journey with God. Our Longest Night Reflective Service allows space for silence to remember loved ones and creates space for sorrow in our broken world, even as we celebrate the hope of Christmas.
We will guide you through space for reflection and prayer, with reflective music throughout. The service will last about 45 minutes. Because of the silence and reflection, we suggest that children not be included. Childcare will be available for anyone who would have trouble sitting quietly through the service.
*Zoom streaming available (it will be a very simplified video feed)

We will also take up an offering (the only time we ever pass a plate!!) to provide hygiene kits for families in crisis through Mennonite Central Committee.
Let's celebrate the birth of Emmanuel!

12/26: No Celebration gathering
Use the time to reflect on the amazing beauty of the gift of a Savior who comes to us.
SundayServe
Sunday, 1/2 at Aspira 10:30am
SundayServe is an opportunity to use our gathering time to connect to God's redemptive work in the world in a practical, tangible way. We'll be packing hygiene kits for refugee families, to be distributed by the Mennonite Central Committee. Keeping clean is an important part of remaining healthy, but families who have fled their homes because of disaster or war often struggle to afford these necessary supplies.
Show up at our usual time, enjoy some coffee and donuts, then we'll end our year by helping others!
