Did you know that it is only 10 weeks until Christmas? Halloween is next week and Thanksgiving is just around the corner which means that the season of Advent is knocking on the door. We are getting ready for the season and here are some important dates to get on your calendar:

Sunday, November 27
The Sunday following Thanksgiving is the first Sunday in Advent (New Year’s Day in the Christian calendar!!) and we will be entering the season with our Hanging of the Greens Worship Service. That afternoon from 3-5 p.m. Kay Hereford Voorhees will be hosting a special Advent devotional “cut and paste” experience for folks of all ages as a way of getting ready for the season.

Saturday, December 3
This is the busiest day of the entire season!!! We begin that morning with our annual Breakfast with Santa event for the entire community. That evening will feature the Old Hickory Village Christmas Tree lighting followed by the Swinging for the Kids community dance to benefit the Christian Community Outreach Center. You won’t want to miss ANY of these events!!!!

Saturday, December 24
We’ll be hosting two Christmas Eve services, a kid friendly service at 5 p.m. and the traditional Candlelight and Communion at 11 p.m.

Sunday, December 25
Close on Christmas? Not this church! Plan on celebrating the birth of Jesus in word and song at our 10:50 a.m. Christmas worship service. We WILL be canceling Sunday School though.
