You Bring the Present Because You Carry His Presence
Ladies, join us for a time to prepare our hearts for the coming King!
Begin your Advent season with friends and family, as we gather for a program filled with meaningful meditations, music, activities, food and fellowship. This event, open to the community, is geared toward women high school age and up.
Women bring the present at Christmas. They cook, buy gifts, create crafts, plan parties, coordinate outfits….make MAGIC, and this year will be no different. This devotional is a walk through a few of the women involved in the family line of Christ and his birth.
Please join us for a time of reflection and anticipation. Please join us for a time of intentional preparation of our hearts, amidst the busyness of the season. Please join us for a time of remembering the reason that Jesus came.
Bring a Dish to Share - There is no charge for this event, but we are asking people to bring an easily sharable savory (appetizer / charcuterie board) or sweet (dessert / fruit) dish.
We Will Provide Drinks and Supplies - We will also offer a coffee and mocktail mimosa bar and provide supplies for the activities. All women, high school age and up, are welcome to attend!
Nativity Scenes - We would love to see your nativity scene. If you are comfortable with it, please bring it after church or before the event and set it up in Room 304. There will be volunteers helping assist you where to place them. During the event, the women will have time to enjoy all the different nativity scenes.
Please RSVP so we can plan food and supplies.
