After what has been a particularly stressful and glum year for many, we continue to push forward into the Christmas season with joy and anticipation for the coming of Our Lord. Parishioners will begin to see decorations throughout the hall and church spaces, and we hope these decorations serve to build that sense of wonder and joy in each of your lives.
Please pause and take a moment to view the tree in our Gathering Space. It may look empty (for now) but that is because we need decorations from YOU (and your children, and the members of your family, and, and…)!
Please GIVE YOUR HEART TO GOD by creating a beautiful, heart-shaped ornament. It can be any style, size, or design you would like. It could be made of pipe cleaners, Cheerios, or cotton swabs and still look lovely on our tree, but we would like it to include the color red and have a hanger so that we can hang it on our tree. The only (true) requirement is that the ornaments be made with love, so we ask that you include one word, or one statement, on the back describing what Christmas means to you, or truly: How you will give your heart to God in the new year.
Are you meticulous about decorating or putting lights on a Christmas tree? We still need volunteers to help us decorate the church! Please contact Shelley Botts (281-832-9660) or the office if you would like to assist. We have the greatest need for volunteers on Sunday, December 20th, at 2:00pm, but may have other projects available between now and Christmas. 😊
With blessings and hope for the new year, we wish you and your family peace!
