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.
