Groundwork: Waiting for the Light of the World. - Advent is a season of waiting. We’re waiting for Jesus, the Light of the World. Join Groundwork as we study Genesis 1:1-5, Psalm 18:27-28, Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 11:1-3, and Romans 13:11-14 to explore the Bible’s theme of light and gain a fuller understanding of what we’re waiting for as we begin to prepare our hearts for the arrival of Jesus at his birth at Christmas. Listen now at GroundworkOnline.com and subscribe to Groundwork's weekly emails for future episodes.

Kids Corner:  Advent at Home:  O Come, O Come, Immanuel-  God promises to be with us in every moment—when we’re sad, happy, or waiting for better days—and that gives us hope. This Advent, we can celebrate the hope of Jesus, who was born to be our Savior and will one day come again.

Invitation to all Seniors, Grandparents and Grandfriends: Vanastra Youth Group would like to invite you to a night of games, social and snacks on Monday Dec 1 at 7pm in the Fellowship Hall. We look forward to seeing you all and having a fun time!

Senior and Community Christmas Dinner is on Tuesday December 16th at 5:30 pm.

You’re invited on a Walk to Bethlehem Advent Pilgrimage.  The Clinton & Area Ministerial welcomes all churches in Clinton and Vanastra to share in this journey the weeks after the Sundays of Advent – November 30-December 27.  The challenge over these weeks is to cover the 112km Mary and Joseph travelled from Nazareth to  Bethlehem.  A guiding document provides biblical passages to reflect on as you do so, and space to track your progress [note where you have printed copies available and/or if an electronic copy is attached]. We’ll also have Saturday morning opportunities to meet at different churches and do some walking together, with locations shared each week.

​Kids Corner:  Advent:  The Season of Waiting -  Advent starts next week—it’s the four weeks before Christmas, a time to get our hearts ready for Jesus. We remember that He was born for us and that one day He will come again, so we can trust God while we wait.
