Sanctuary Dedication – Save the Date! We’ll dedicate our new Sanctuary in services February 2 and have a celebration lunch that day. We will likely worship there before that date when the space is ready…but this date accommodates planning and some travel plans. The scheduled completion from the construction company is December 31. There will likely be other parts of the project (e.g. furniture installation, organ testing, technology tweaks, etc.) that come together soon after. Look for an evite invitation in your email inbox. Please RSVP by January 12 so the planning committee has an accurate number!
Christmas Worship Opportunities See the listing below for special worship times. Please note there will be no “Discipleship Hour” classes from December 22nd thru January 5th. Regular Sunday classes will resume on January 12th.

Chairs, Chairs, and more Chairs… If you haven’t been on the upper level of the building lately, you haven’t seen the large shipment of sanctuary chairs that are everywhere! Several of these chairs have been unpacked and are currently down in the gym – have a seat and test them out. Soon our new sanctuary will be completed, the chairs will be moved in, and we will celebrate sitting on these chairs together for many wonderful years to come!
Please continue to keep our construction workers and the
construction process in your prayers.

Sunday December 29 The normal after-church activity of putting away chairs and chancel furniture gets ratcheted up!
Everything must go! The entire gym needs to be
emptied in order for the floor renova-tion project to begin on Monday, December 30. AND – this COULD be the final Sunday we take down chairs – you don’t want to miss the last Sunday of church tear down, so plan to help us clear the gym after second service (about 12:10 pm).
