Join us this Advent season for our adult Bible study on Sunday mornings and midweek Advent services on Wednesdays as we “Shake the Branches of Jesus’ Family Tree.” Through Bible study on Sundays and dramatic presentations on Wednesdays we will learn more about what the genealogy of Jesus tells us about who he is and why he came, and what it means for us who have been grafted into this same family through faith.
Our midweek services will include a midday liturgy at Noon and Holden Evening Prayer at the 6:00PM service. Soup suppers will follow.
Sunday Morning Adult Bible Study:
9:15AM in the church library
December 3: Unlikely Great-Grandmas: Tamar & Rahab
December 10: Jesse: From Sons to Stump
December 17: A Jagged Royal Line: Jehoshaphat to Zerubbabel
Midweek Advent Services:
Noon & 6pm, soup suppers following
December 6: Ruth, The Grafted-In Gentile
December 13: David, A Great Sinner with Great Faith

We’re collecting warm, preferably washable coats in all sizes, children through adults. Clean and gently-used coats are welcome, too, as well as mittens, gloves, hats, and new, warm socks. Items may be placed in the designated bin in the narthex. We’ll share them with neighbors in need on Whidbey and in the Skagit Valley.
