they will be a festive winter white! You
can sign up on the plaza after worship
on November 30, December 7, and
December 14, or you can mail or drop

this form to the Ministry Center offices. All
requests must be received by December

published in the Christmas Eve bulletins.
Those who have donated poinsettias
may take their plant home with them after
the final Christmas Eve service.
Advent Sermon Series:
Light in the Darkness
Advent begins in darkness—not with
answers, but with longing. This series
embraces the ancient tension of waiting
and trust. Each week, we trace the
movement of light—fragile, growing,
persistent—as a metaphor for God’s
presence in our world and our call to be
bearers of that light.
