Advent Season is off and ringing! We opened the season with Advent Orchestra, from beginners with 3
weeks experience (Madison Kobel) to seasoned Professionals (Ken Brown)! We hope that the orchestra

Join us after our 10:15 worship service for this special annual event! The Advent Work-
shop will include crafts, music and a light lunch. There will also be plenty of
“alternative” shopping experiences for folks of all ages.
There will be 6-7 vendors for the Alternative Christmas. What do we mean by
“alternative?” Well, profits from the sale of these gifts support peace and justice
throughout the world. We will have arts and crafts that were made by indigenous
people around the world; every purchase supports their livelihoods. Do you have
friends and family who have everything? You can buy a chicken, goat, or even a cow
in their honor, which will be given to a poor family in a developing country.
Why give gifts that have little meaning, and which do little to bring wholeness to a
fragmented world? At the Advent Workshop and Alternative Christmas, you can help
spread the good news of Christmas to people in need around the world while showing
your love to your family and friends.
