Christmas Eve Connectings
For Christmas Eve, we want to bring a bit of church to YOU. We have candles and communion kits to pass out for that special night. Remember singing “Silent Night” by candlelight on Christmas Eve? We are planning to do that again this year. This year it is important for us to create a sense of togetherness in our singing. And, we want YOU to have one of those candles! Plus, we will be having communion together that night. We’d also like to share the communion bread and wine for our together moment when we celebrate Immanuel (God with us).
At Augustana
We are inviting you to come and pick up the candle-communion kit at church. We will be handing them out in the parking lot by the canopy door off Weston Avenue. There are three opportunities when we will be handing out the candle-communion kits to use on Christmas Eve.
Times are: 1:00 – 1:45 pm Wednesday afternoon
5:00 – 6:00 pm Wednesday evening
At East Sveadahl
Members of the church council will be contacting you and getting the candle-communion kits to you. If you have not been contacted, please call Wayne or Susan. You may also pick the items up at Augustana at the above times.
We want to invite you to remember whose birthday this is. On Christmas, would you - could you help us out again with a generous gift to Jesus? The financial gift you give will help us do our outreach and programming together. We will have an offering plate available when you receive your candle-communion kit. You are also welcome to make a donation on our website or via US mail. We have been so grateful for your support of our ministry and outreach during these Pandemic months. Thank You!
