Gaudete Sunday
December 14 7:45 AM to 12:15 PM
Gaudete Sunday is the third Sunday of Advent, a time to rejoice in the coming of Jesus and the nearness of Christmas. The name comes from the Latin word for “rejoice,” and its theme is a break from the penitential nature of early Advent to focus on joy. We will share in this joy by inviting everyone to wear an ugly Christmas sweater or their best festive holiday wear to worship on this Sunday!

Compline during Advent
December 17 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Advent is a liturgical season of slowing down and preparation as we pay attention to how the God of the universe is present with us - once again. As we walk through this season together, all are invited to join us for a service of Compline during the weeks leading up to Christmas Eve.

We will gather at 6:00 p.m. in the Historic Sanctuary for worship on Wednesday, December 3; Thursday, December 11; and Wednesday, December 17.
