Hannah Center “Angel Tree”: We’re wrapping up our gift drive for the Hannah Center. Thank you for the great response! Please drop off any additional items in the collection baskets located under the tree in the main entryway of the church no later than this Sunday.
Congregational Meeting: Members are encouraged to attend the annual December business meeting for the election of 2026 officers and approval of the 2026 Missions budget. The meeting will immediately follow worship this Sunday, Dec. 14th.
To expedite the meeting, elementary kids will be brought to the Sanctuary before the end of worship. Infants-PreK will still need to be picked up from the kids’ rooms.
Christmas Eve: Come reflect on the wonder of Christmas at our special 6pm candlelight Christmas Eve service of Scripture readings, special musical performances, and a Christmas story. Childcare is not offered so that everyone can attend the service. Kids are welcome to come in their Christmas jammies!
Memorial Poinsettias: We invite you to purchase poinsettias in honor or in memory of loved ones, which will decorate our Sanctuary during Advent. Plants may be ordered through Wednesday, Dec. 17th, at the Welcome Center or at cccbloomington.org/poinsettias.
Advent Reading Challenge: Stop by the library during this Advent season – join our Advent reading challenge (for both adults and children) and browse our large selection of Advent/Christmas devotionals, Christmas fiction, non-fiction, poetry and picture books for all ages! Take time away to curl up with a good book(s) this Advent season.
