Greetings from The Downtown Church! This is a bi-weekly email with information about events, updates, and other fun things from the leadership of the church.
 

As I sit this morning, my mind and heart are full of gratitude for the people who call The Downtown Church their home. Just a few of the things I have experienced with you in the past weeks:

  • An email that went out for people at the last minute to come and serve at Crosslines and you responded.

  • A new Sunday morning class began.

  • A prayer team that responds faithfully to urgent prayer requests

  • People eating Ben’s chili, then working together to transform our beautiful sanctuary and grounds for the Christmas season. Leaves, leaves, leaves.

  • Youth gathering for a Friendsgiving.

  • Children running upstairs each Sunday to learn they are loved by God. (And be the first to the rolly chair.)

  • The baptism of a child.

  • Hospitality and love extended to a husband and family grieving the sudden death of a beloved woman.

  • The Downtown Church Board taking seriously, and humbly, their leadership.

There are so many more thoughts that come tumbling into my mind as I write. I am overwhelmed with how blessed I am to serve with an incredible staff and many, many volunteers who joyfully contribute to The Downtown Church becoming the place where Christ and the community intersect. I am thankful for each of you.

See you Sunday,
Lori

It's our last First Friday Art Walk of the year. We'll have some fun stuff for kids to do (maybe even some cookie decorating!), some yummy popcorn, snacks, and hot chocolate, and some live jazz and Christmas carols from the esteemed Pate Trio. Make plans to join us as we kick-off the holiday season!

We are SO EXCITED to have some fun together on Saturday, December 3. Join us from 10-11:30am for some crafts, snacks, songs, puppets, games, and a bucket full of family Christmas fun. What's better than starting December off with a big family party at The Downtown Church? Join us...don't be a cotton-headed ninnymuggins!

We are kicking off our Advent series, Prepare the Way For the Lord, this Sunday and there are a few opportunities to dive deeper into this material. There are two groups on Sunday mornings that will be going through the book, or you can join Pastor Lori on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm. Make plans to join one of the three groups and prepare the way for the Lord.
