Our weekly bulletin + connection point
Here's a look at the week ahead... and beyond!
New, Unique Christmas Experience
Dec. 14Instead of going door-to-door to sing Christmas carols, Lake Country can come to us and we'll sing to them! While enjoying hot cocoa, they can hear the true Christmas story from us! Check out the opportunities to support this community outreach event. Grab invite cards from the welcome desk to invite friends to Reverse Caroling.
Looking Ahead...
Nov. 30
Get in the holiday spirit with Gracenotes Orchestra on Nov. 30 at 7 p.m. at Oakwood. This is a free event open to the community, and it's a great opportunity to bring a friend to enjoy a time of Christmas-themed music reminding us of Jesus' birth. Tickets are available at Oakwood, but are not required to attend.
Supporting Each Other
Dec. 4 + 6
Men, join us as we serve the women during the 2024 Women's Christmas event. There are a variety of times and ways to serve, including set up, prepping food, serving food, and clean up. Check out the opportunities and sign up today!
