Church Family,
I hope this Christmas can be a time of hope and Thanksgiving for all of you out there. Wherever you find yourself this week, I’m praying the end of Advent and beginning of Christmas will be a chance to meet and follow Christ
Our Christmas Eve Service will be 5:30pm on Christmas Eve.
Our Google Meet will not meet this Sunday, but will complete infancy narratives January 2nd. I will finish up 1 Thess next week
Due to cold weather, my porch hours may become inconsistent over the winter. I’ll still consider Wednesday and Sunday 1-3pm to be “porch time” and I’d love to meet with you indoors or somewhere of your choosing.
Link for Google Meet Sunday 1/2 at 6:30pm. Please join us!

“Through the Sacrament of Baptism
we are initiated into Christ’s holy Church.
We are incorporated into God’s mighty acts of salvation
and given new birth through water and the Spirit.
All this is God’s gift, offered to us without price.’”
Church Family,
Merry Christmas to all of you! I hope these 12 days are filled with joy and song. What a perfect day to welcome someone new into the body of Christ and to recall Christ’s calling to each of us in and through our baptisms.
Our Google Meet will not meet this evening, but will return next Sunday at 6:30pm.
For the winter, I will still plan to keep the hours Wednesday and Sunday from 1-3pm open, but won’t physically be on the porch in the cold. Feel free to reach out to make an appointment!
Along with prerecorded worship we continue to livestream in-person worship at https://www.facebook.com/SwepsUMC
In the bulletin on Sunday I’ve been including resources for a personal devotion and scripture readings throughout the week. After all, our worship continues every day and not just Sundays. I will begin publishing these in our emails as well for folks who miss Sunday. Message or email the church if you’d like to be added to our email list.
I’ve tried to work on making our prayer list below more detailed. If you’d like to add a prayer or detail to a concern below feel free to call, text, or email at any time.
Our Google Meet will meet next Sunday (1/2) at 6:30pm. Link for next Sunday

God bless all of you!
