Advent Event Alternative
You are invited to add your own wildlife-friendly decorations to the tree that the Mattes Family will put up on the church lawn.
- Add garlands made with such things as peanuts in the shell, popcorn, pieces of pumpkin, cranberries, raisins, dried apple slices, strung together with thread.
- Hang apples, tangerines, plums from loops of thread, string, or twine.
- Coat pinecones with natural peanut butter or suet then roll in birdseed and tie to a branch with twine.
- Fill orange halves with birdseed and hang on the tree.
- Follow this link for some ideas and instructions. Or click on the link in the picture below.

QuietChurch Invitation
Quiet Church is a means to redevelop our inner connection with God by being quiet. QuietChurch is open to all--interfaith, non-denominational. It is a quiet time to gather to worship in reverent silence and quiet. One may meditate, clear the mind and heart, read a bit, while seeking connection, solace, and being loved. Quiet Church will offer on-line gatherings on Monday, December 7: Early Advent 2020; and Monday, December 21: Advent / Winter Solstice. The shortest day of the year is a great time to gather in the quiet peace of loved ones who have died. It is a very hard day for some. Come to Quiet Church and be loved. May the peace of Quiet gather us in!
