Love's Pure Light: A Service of Hope
December 7, at 4:00 PM in the Sanctuary
For some, the Advent season doesn't feel quite so joyful. Join us for a special Service of Hope on Sunday, December 7, at 4:00 PM in the sanctuary. This service is for those who may struggle at this time of year with grief, family issues, loss, or struggles that make the “jolly” season feel not-so-jolly. We will have a short message of hope, music, time for remembering loved ones, candle lighting, and refreshments afterward. For more info email Pastor Tina at tina@fumcgt.org.
