Third Sunday of Advent

I hope you’re all well and in good spirits on this freezing Saturday morning. It’s breathtakingly beautiful here in Lake City as we’ve been covered with a blanket of fresh snow. You non-winter residents should come up and visit us. 🙂

This Sunday marks the mid-point of our journey through the Advent season. This Sunday we’ll not only light the pink candle of joy, we’ll also be celebrating the Lord’s Supper, so please plan accordingly if you’re joining us via Zoom. After the service tomorrow, we’ll be having our monthly potluck. So plan on bringing a brunch-ish dish to share and staying to eat and fellowship with our faith community.

Tomorrow’s preaching text is a familiar one and it comes from Philippians 4:4-7. You can read it and the other lectionary texts here. Beyond those updates, here are your announcements for the week:

Games Up Here
