Advent
Advent is here! This year, we will be focusing on the Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55). Mary finds out that she will carry Jesus, and she quickly goes to see her cousin Elizabeth. The Magnificat is the song Mary sings when she arrives at Elizabeth’s house – a song full of prophecy and promise. It paints a vision of a world restored with grace and peace.
In the midst of a busy and joyful season, we have multiple opportunities to be inspired by this vision, and to help realize it.

We need 50 hams (boneless or bone-in) to feed families of all sizes. If you would like to contribute a ham please sign up online or let us know by calling the office at 513-683-4244. Hams should be dropped off on the weekend of December 16-17.
Join us for a time of helping together. Volunteers will pack rice, fortified soy protein, dried vegetables, and a blend of 21 vitamins and minerals into bags that will then be sealed, boxed, and prepared for international shipment to children who need it most. Open to all ages and abilities. This event is open for the first 80 people so sign up soon to save your family’s spot!
Sending meals like these across the globe costs us just a fraction of a dollar (only $.28 per meal!). Can you help cover the cost? Contribute today! Give online or in the offering plate marking your gift “Advent”. If we surpass our goal of $5000, every dollar goes to support Community and Global Mission Projects like these that help our neighbors across the street and around the globe believe that love & life win.

Help Light the Advent Wreath
Would your family consider lighting the Advent Wreath this coming season? All you would need to do is arrive 5-10 minutes before the service to speak with the pastors and then light the candles at the start of the service. This is a great way for individuals, families, and couples to participate in worship as we ponder the light of Christ.
If you’d like to participate, sign up directly at this link.
