Decorating for Christmas at McKendree
DECORATING FOR CHRISTMAS!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Let’s prepare the church for the season and extra guests. We want everyone to experience the joy of knowing the newborn king. All ages are invited to join in preparing the church for Advent on Sunday, November 24th after the 11:00am service. Drinks, chips and cookies will be provided, and everyone can bring their own favorite sandwich to eat before decorating starts at 12:30pm.
Decorate the Chrismon Tree in the Narthex, hang the wreaths, place the greenery, adorn the windows, prepare the advent candles, and anything else that comes our way! Lynda Norris is organizing this project so please reach out if you are interested or need more information.
Walk Thru Bethlehem
Come experience what it was like in Bethlehem the night Jesus was born! Market stalls, shepherds and live animals, and the story of Jesus’ birth. This is what Christmas is truly all about! Everyone is Welcome! Open to the public from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m.
Hope, Healing, and Holy Communion
Join Pastor Cyndi, Pastor Paula, and the Stephen Ministers for Holy Communion during the Advent Season after Wednesday night supper. In this brief yet meaningful time, we’ll read scripture, light candles in prayer, and open the altar rail for those who would like someone to pray with them. We especially invite anyone who has experienced a loss this year, making it difficult to face the holiday season.
