Time to get ready for Advent and the coming celebration of Jesus birth. Today starting at 9:30 AM (until about 1:00 PM) we are setting up our outdoor nativity scene and cleaning and decorating the church for Advent. Please join us if you are able. Many hands make light work, even if it's raining. Dress for the weather if you plan to help outside. It's sometimes quite lovely weather though, as the photos from a few years ago show. Lunch will be served.
