Calling Committee Member
Council is issuing a formal call for all volunteers to join our various committees! If you are interested in joining, or would like to learn more about, the personnel, compassion, worship, or finance teams, please let us know! Nominations are currently being accepted-you may either nominate yourself or someone you think may be good for the role. This is a great opportunity to share your voice and talents with our community. Thank you!
A Note About Pastoral Care
If you are in need of Pastoral Care, the wonderful Rev. Elizabeth Ross has graciously agreed to be available to our community during this time. Her email is: elizabethmiriammichael@gmail.com
A note about the Children's Ministry
Our community has purchased a wonderful children's curriculum from A Sanctified Art to be used during this Advent season. BUT-we are in need of volunteers to help facilitate! We will also need volunteers over the next few months. If you, or someone you know, are interested in supervising our kiddos during worship, please let us know. Thank you!
A note about the Nursery
A friendly reminder that the nursery space is intended to be available only for the little ones (those 5 years old and under). Our little ones have specific needs and we kindly ask everyone -including older children, teenagers, adults, and guests -to respect this space so that we can meet those needs. Thank you! If there are any questions about this, please contact a member of council.
Giving Tuesday
While the date for Giving Tuesday has officially passed, our community is still grateful for any ways that you can support us moving forward. Whether through your money, time, skills, or presence, we invite you to give to our community as you best see fit. This community means so much to so many people, and giving is one way that you can ensure this community continues to be a place where people are "loved, fed, and affirmed as their whole selves, because Jesus welcomes all." You may give electronically by going through Donate - Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community (churchcenter.com) , or make a donation through your phone by texting 84321. If you have any questions, please let us know. Thank You!
Advent
Please note the following points about Advent:
This year, there will be no Christmas Eve Eve service, due to capacity and staffing issues. However, we look forward to seeing everyone on Christmas Eve (Sunday, 12/24) at 7:00 pm for a meditative candlelight service. This will be a beautiful chance to slow down, take a breath, and center ourselves before Christmas Day. (Please note this will be the only service on Christmas Eve-there will be no morning service, just the one 7:00 pm service.)
This year's Advent devotional is available online. You can access it here: online.flippingbook.com/view/136123036/
We have two advent calendars available this year, one for children and one for adults. They will be available at church, and can be accessed in the advent email sent out earlier this week.
