LAST CALL
Pass the Flame
 
Join us in passing the Flame of Christ from one to another this Advent. If you are tech-savvy, we invite you to record a video of you passing a flame, from one candle to another and from one neighbor to another. Send me the video for our Christmas Eve worship. Or take a picture of you and your family holding a lit candle. 

If you’d like to participate and want some help recording, let me know and I’ll come take a picture or video. Let’s pass the Flame of Faith throughout our community.

Christmas Eve Bags

As we pass the Flame of Christ from one to another, you’re invited to stop by the church and grab your bag of Christmas Eve Supplies including your candles and glow sticks. When you stop by, grab a neighbors bag and take it to them! The church office will be open on Thursday, Christmas Eve day from 9-12. For the procrastinators, you could grab them during the Carol Sing-Along at 3pm.
This Sunday, December 27th at 10:30am
during our regular worship time
As we gather at the manger, I invite you to remember Flame of Faith in your end of year giving. It’s been a complicated year for everyone as with the church and we continue to do the ministry of Christ as best we can. As always you can give through our online giving, or you can send your giving to the church. The address is 1222 6th St E, West Fargo, ND 58078
