Sunday Kids' Church
We are lowering the age range of kids' church to what it was
before COVID, but this will be gradual.
**Currently, it is available for children from ages 3 - 4th grade.
In January 2024, it will be available for children ages 3 - 3rd grade.
In order to help younger children during the service,
extra worship activities will be available.

A generous donor has agreed to match, dollar-for-dollar, any donations
made to our capital debt between October 1 and December 31 up to $20,000.
That means every dollar we give will turn into two!
Thanks to the donor, and to all of you for your faithful giving to Memorial.

“Advent is a season to linger in longing. This poses a challenge in our tired, time-tabled culture. We are used to having what gratifies…”
This is the beginning phrase from our Advent devotional booklet, which begins this Sunday, Dec. 3.
Please take a devotion book and spend a few moments everyday praying, reading and reflecting.
During this time of longing, as we wait for our Savior’s birth, let’s spend some time waiting with God.
