It’s a tradition with a twist, a chance to put aside the stress of the season, and embrace the joy. It’s an evening of candlelight and champagne punch, and a short program of celebration and contemplation in the sanctuary. It’s savories and sweets, music and fellowship. It’s an evening for women, and by women.

This year’s Advent Tea will focus on refreshing your spirit. We will start the evening with punch and light appetizers in the narthex, then move to the sanctuary for our program. At conclusion of the program, we will adjourn to the Fellowship Hall for a meal of appetizers and desserts.

What to bring? Yourself and a place setting! Please also bring to share a savory appetizer or a dessert.

Invite your friends and neighbors! This is a wonderful way to share God's love during this Advent season.

This year’s service project is a drive to support the North County Hypothermia Shelter. The list of suggested donations is below. You can also download a PDF here, or pick up a copy from the bulletin board near the Fellowship Hall when you sign up.
