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.
 
Happy Thanksgiving, friends! I pray you found time to enjoy the company of loved ones. I hope you laughed deeply, talked merrily, and rested fully.

I'm so thankful for this holiday and its specific reason to be thankful and grateful. It is a good thing for us to do, even if sometimes it takes a national holiday for us to do it.

There are many things I am thankful for—our church, my house, my job, my friends and family—but most of all my wife and two kids, whose love and laughter keep me humming along.

Let's all try and schedule a little more time to be thankful between now and next November. It will be good for our health, our communities, and our loved ones.

See you soon,
Brian
Mark your calendars for some Christmas fun! Our annual Family Christmas Party is only a week away. We'll have lots of games, snacks, crafts, and a performance from the puppets! We'll provide everything you'll need, but we need to know how many people to expect. RSVP right here and get your family on the list!
Last year during Advent, we introduced you to the many pets of The Downtown Church. This year, we'd like to hear about your favorite ornament and why it's special to you. If you'd like to be part of this digital Advent calendar, just email us back and we'll get you all the details. The countdown begins on December 1st, so we'll need 24 different ornaments to showcase during this fun Advent calendar.
We had so much fun at our High Church Sunday back in February, we thought we should do it again. This time it will be late in the Advent season, so we'll plan on singing many of our favorite Christmas hymns and carols. This unique service will be much more traditional—there will be acolytes, a choir, liturgy, and the pastor is going to wear a robe . Make sure to join the fun on Sunday, December 21.
