Advent is in full swing! I can hardly believe that 2022 has nearly passed us. There are plenty of opportunities this weekend to enjoy Advent at Effort.
Tomorrow at 10:30 am we will be decorating the FLC for Christmas. Please join us in the lobby and help decorate the tree and hang wreaths!
We will be loading the truck on Sunday afternoon at 4 pm with the Toiletry Kits and Stationary Packs that the Young at Heart has worked on all year to deliver to the Women's Correctional Center. We need some strong backs and should be finished by 4:30 pm.
The Breathe Women's Ministry will be gathering in the sanctuary building for a retreat-like evening of soup and soul-refreshing encouragement and conversation on Sunday, from 4:30 - 7:00 pm. They have a wonderful guest speaker, Kristin Fields, who will be sharing a message about Pursuing Christ in Response to His Pursuit of Us. This is a perfectly timed message as we enter the season of Advent and prepare our hearts for Emmanuel. Christ came to earth as a man, so that we might have communion with the Father. No sign-up is required. Invite a friend. Bring a canned good to donate to the food pantry. You won't want to miss it! If you need a ride or have any questions, please email Breathe@effortchurch.org.
