Advent/Christmas Happenings
COMFORT AND JOY
St Mark's invites you to take time during what can be a very busy season to pause long enough to experience the Comfort and Joy of God through the season of Christmas, known as Advent. Each week we invite you to focus on comfort or joy as we highlight a Theme and a Key word . There will be coloring pages and additional items for our children, devotions for our families and adults plus a family movie night and a two week countdown to Christmas devotional challenge as seek the light.
We invite you to slow down, enjoy the adventure and take it in. Enjoy the sights, sounds and tastes too and give thanks to God for them all and the people around you.
Join us for worship Christmas Eve as we celebrate the birth of Jesus in sights, songs, and a message. We gather at 4:30Pm and will include a time of candlelighting and a special gift for the children.
May You feel the comfort and joy of Jesus as you journey through this Advent and Christmas season.
Merry Christmas,
Pastor Jim Mericle
