We are excited to have the Faith Vocal Ensemble from Wesleyan Christian Academy come sing Christmas carols at Young at Heart on December 3rd. Come hum along to your favorite carols as you enjoy your beef tenderloin lunch. Register before November 27th at noon to reserve your spot. Don’t forget to invite a friend or neighbor to come with you! The cost is $5.00 per person. You can pay in advance here or pay at the door.

The Senior Adult Ministry Team will hold a silent auction, so come prepared to bid on some fun items!

Register here!

The Festival is modeled after the service aired world-wide every Christmas Eve from Kings College at Cambridge.  Our Festival will feature the Chancel Choir, Children’s Choir,

Handbells, Praise Team, instrumentalists, nine separate readers, and include quite a few congregational carols.

We will offer only one service on December 8th.  Adult Sunday school will be held at 9:00am.

The Mission committee will sponsor a Christmas Toy Drive to benefit the children of Western NC on Sunday morning, December 8th at 10:00am at Lessons & Carols!  Please bring new unwrapped toys for children of all ages.  Boxes will be in the Narthex and the Welcome Center.  Thanks for helping make Christmas special for these children!

The holiday season is hard for those whose hearts are hurting. You are not alone.

Blue Christmas is a gentle, contemplative service for those who are carrying pain or loss during this season of celebration.

Not everyone is excited and cheery for the Christmas holidays.  Many of us are dealing with death, separation, the illness of loved ones, addictions, health concerns and any number of human situations that make the holidays a time of mixed emotions and challenge.  Join us for this Blue Christmas service near the darkest day of the year to
remember, to pray and to gather in hope.  The service includes an opportunity to sing, pray, reflect and light candles.

All are welcome to this service.  Please feel free to invite others you feel may find this service comforting.
