Throughout the month of December, we are in need of worshipers to light the Advent wreath candles and help us tell the story of the coming Christ.  

No experience or writing required.  We will provide the candles and the readings.  Volunteer to participate in a Sanctuary or Modern worship service that works for you, your household, or small group.

All are welcome!
