So the Advent wreath is up at church and so far, two candles have been lit. Now it's time for the Greening of the church. No...not the ECO type of greening, though that's all well and good. This is the time for wreaths and swags and the Chrismon Tree to enhance our surroundings. This is the time for twinkiling lights added to the candle light to remind us of the one TRUE Light...who was and is and is to come.
The Daughters of the King, The altar Guild and the Middle School Youth Group will de decorating the church on Wednesday, the 7th. Kids will meet at 6:00 in the Parish Hall for dinner and be joined by the adults in the church around 6:30.
This is also the time to place your orders for Poinsettias to offer Thanksgiving for those who were, and are, and are to come.
Please be sure to look for the Poinsettia order form in Sunday's bulletin. Fill it out and place it in the Alms Basin with your check made out to Saint Matthew's and note "poinsettias" in the memo section.
Our Christmas Eve Service will begin at 6:30 on December 24th with Carols ...a joyful noise to the Lord. The service will begin at 7:00 and the children of the Sunday School will portray the Nativity Scene as the Christmas Story is read once again.
Please join us in the celebration of the first coming of Our Lord, as we await His return.
