celebrate ADVENT

Sunday, November 27 is the first Sunday of Advent. Advent is an invitation to get into the Christmas spirit, to let our lives be transformed, and to celebrate the Christ Child who comes to remind us that we are not alone; God is with us!
St. Francis of Assisi once said, “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” We sometimes take for granted the power of lighting a candle in the dark and how it can point us forward. The light of God’s grace has been given to us for the sake of lighting the way for others. This Advent, we invite you to consider how we are called to this work of Lighting the Way to the Hope, Peace, Joy and Love of Christ with us.
Join us every Sunday at 10:30am in person or online through Facebook or our Website.
**Childcare available for children 4 and under with rsvp to children@tryfaith.org

It's time to kick off Advent with a Tree Lighting Celebration! Join us at 6:30 on Sunday, November 27 for holiday fun for the whole family - there's something for everyone!
We'll start the night with an outdoor viewing of the original How the Grinch Stole Christmas with popcorn and hot chocolate. Bring your favorite lawn chair and some blankets! When it's over, we'll sing some Christmas carols together before we end the night with the Tree Lighting.

Get excited, parents - you're getting a day off! Bring your kiddos to a Christmas Party at the church on Saturday, December 3 from 9a-1p. They will enjoy food, fun, and friends while you enjoy Christmas shopping or maybe a nap!
Our youth will help run this event as a way to support our Faith Summer Missions. The cost is $25 per child with a maximum of $40 per family.

On Thursday, December 8 at 7pm, our Worship Director, Vince Lujan, will lead us in a night of worship in-the-round featuring all your favorite Christmas tunes. Come sing along, pray with us, and enjoy a spirit-filled night to usher in the Christmas season.

Holidays can be hard, and we're often carrying grief along with the joy. There's space for you to hold both at our Christmas Hope service on Wednesday, December 14 at 7p.
Childcare available for children 4 and under.

Join us for one united Christmas Eve service on Saturday, December 24 at our regular service time of 10:30am!
Childcare available for children 4 and under.

Christmas morning falls on Sunday, December 25, so we will worship online only. Stay cozy in your pajamas and join us in worship from your couch after opening presents!

Join us back in-person for worship on Sunday, January 1 at 10:30am! We will celebrate the new year by blessing new toys and worshipping in our pajamas. And the best gift of all - Pastor Jenna will be back from maternity leave!
