4TH SUNDAY OF ADVENT
18 December 2022
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 coffee and fellowship, downstairs in the Church Hall, following the service. We thank Mardine Garnham for hosting today.
This Week in First Church:
– Saturday, 7:00 p.m. – Christmas Eve service
Coming Up:
– Sunday, 25 December – No service (Christmas Day)
– Wednesday, 28 December, 10:00 a.m. – Presbytery meeting (Zoom)
– Sunday, 1 January – Service as usual
Candle lighting – We are looking for one or two people to do the lighting of the Christ Candle in the Christmas Eve service, and two people to assist with the candle-lighting at the end of that same service. If you are interested, please speak to John.
No Service on the 25th – With Christmas Day falling on a Sunday this year, the Session has decided not to have a service on Christmas morning. Regular Sunday services will resume the following Sunday, 1 January 2023. There will therefore not be an Announcements Sheet for next Sunday, but there will be one for Sunday, 1 January.
Office Hours – In the week of the 25th of December, John will be in the office from Wednesday the 28th to Saturday the 31st, except that he will be out of town for a while on Friday the 30th for a Presbytery farewell lunch for Glenn Ball, in Brandon.
