The Third Sunday of Advent
Communion Sunday

Welcome! We extend a warm welcome to our guests, and invite you to sign the guest book at the back of the sanctuary. Everyone is invited to remain for lunch, downstairs in the Church Hall, following the service. Thanks to Mardine Garnham, Margaret McNutt-Reichelt and Lalaine Buan for providing the lunch!

Today we celebrate the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. Everyone who has been baptized in any denomination of the Christian church is invited to participate in the Communion, including children. The Communion bread is gluten-free. It’s our custom here at First Church to wait until everyone has been served, so that we all consume first the bread, and then the grape juice, together.

The Greeters this morning are Lalaine and Ruth Buan.

The Reader this morning is Keith Kelly

Coming Up:

  • 24th December (Christmas Eve) – Morning service only
  • 31st December (New Year’s Eve) – 10:30 a.m. service
