Service has been canceled due to illness and pending bad weather.

Although we cannot meet in person, we encourage you to enter the Lenten season with prayer. Here is an article from the United Methodist website on ways to make your Ash Wednesday meaningful.

Advent Bible Study

Join us this Advent for the 4-week study, Season's Greetings: Christmas Letters from Those Who Were There by Ruth Boling.

Book Description: In this Advent devotional, meet twelve biblical characters -- some well-known, others less so -- who share what Christmas meant to them through personal letters written to 21st-century readers. As we hear the multiple perspectives of what Jesus' birth and life meant for these characters of old, we're invited to ask what it means for us, now, today. This study will be held after church on Sunday, December 22. The study should last about 1 hour each. Books have been ordered and can be purchased for $11.00 each. Feel free to contact Dawn Schrandt (librarygirl73@gmail.com or 707-228-9972) for more information. Feel free to come to any of the sessions you can make. All are welcome!

Come in to warm up and enjoy delicious refreshments and warm drinks. The whole family is invited to participate in the Miracle of Jesus event held in the Fellowship Hall, where you can explore interactive stations and learn about the story of Jesus' birth. This event serves as a reminder of the true meaning of the Advent season.
