A minor Jewish festival of lights has become a major commercial holiday in the United States. In December, Hanukkah comes second only to Christmas, with Hanukkah themed decorations and cards sitting to the side at department stores next to Christmas decorations all December long. But do you know what Hanukkah is actually celebrating? What’s the ancient story it is based on? We’ll learn about the story this holiday is based on.
Religious Education (RE) classes are happening this week. Children are invited to come first to the worship service before RE begins after the Time for All Ages. Childcare will be available from 9:30-1:15 in the Treehouse for our youngest community members, and all ages are always welcome there during events before or after the service. — Choir will rehearse at 9:30am and sing during the service.
This month, we are sharing our offering plate with Worthy Now Prison Ministry.
The Zoom link is in our e-newsletter, our Facebook group, and our Discord group.
