The season of Advent is a time to prepare ourselves for Christmas. Advent includes the four Sundays leading up to Christmas Day. We light a candle in the Advent Wreath each Sunday, reminding ourselves of what Christmas means. For Christians, Christmas itself begins Christmas Eve and runs through Epiphany, which is January 6. This is quite different from “commercial Christmas,” which is a secular sales season that begins somewhere before Halloween and halts abruptly on Christmas Day. Let’s prepare for Jesus this Advent!
Join the “Church Ladies” of Roslyn – This Wednesday, December 4, at noon, Mount Pisgah Women is hosting the women from Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and Episcopal Church of the Resurrection for a Christmas luncheon and cookie exchange. All women attending Mount Pisgah are invited, and you are encouraged to wear a Christmas sweater, blouse, or sweatshirt. Mount Pisgah women bring a salad to share. The cookie exchange is optional. To participate, please bring four dozen cookies to exchange and a container to take cookies home in. Call Susan Colts (674-9619) with questions.
Community Christmas concert – The Mountain Voices Community and Children’s Choir concert will take place December 5 at 7:00 pm and December 7 at 2:00 pm at the Cle Elum Community Church. Admission is free and donations are welcome.
Women’s Study beginning – Women will meet on Tuesday nights, at 6:30 pm, at Jane Wallick’s home (801 W. 2nd St, Cle Elum) to study “Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World,” by Dr. David Jeremiah. All women are invited. The group will meet into December, break for Christmas, and resume in January. Call Kathy Juris, at 656-2252, if you have questions
