The Table shout outs… A big Thank You to everyone who volunteered at The Table, whether through donating food, serving the meal, or volunteering for clean up that day. We couldn't have done it without you, and because of you we were able to live into our Hot Metal mission: "Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community is where you are loved, fed, and affirmed as your whole self, because Jesus welcomes all." And a big shout out to our Table coordinator, LaChan, for making it happen!
A note about the Children's Ministry... Our community has purchased a wonderful children's curriculum from A Sanctified Art to be used during this Advent season. BUT-we are in need of volunteers to help facilitate! We will also need volunteers over the next few months. If you, or someone you know, are interested in supervising our kiddos during worship, please let us know. Thank you!
A note about the Nursery... A friendly reminder that the nursery space is intended to be available only for the little ones (those 5 years old and under). Our little ones have specific needs and we kindly ask everyone -including older children, teenagers, adults, and guests -to respect this space so that we can meet those needs. Thank you! If there are any questions about this, please contact a member of council.
Giving Tuesday... While the date for Giving Tuesday has officially passed, our community is still grateful for any ways that you can support us moving forward. Whether through your money, time, skills, or presence, we invite you to give to our community as you best see fit. This community means so much to so many people, and giving is one way that you can ensure this community continues to be a place where people are "loved, fed, and affirmed as their whole selves, because Jesus welcomes all." You may give electronically by going through Donate - Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community (churchcenter.com) , or make a donation through your phone by texting 84321. If you have any questions, please let us know. Thank You!
Advent... Please note the following points about Advent:
This year, there will be no Christmas Eve Eve service, due to capacity and staffing issues. However, we look forward to seeing everyone on Christmas Eve (Sunday, 12/24) at 7:00 pm for a meditative candlelight service. This will be a beautiful chance to slow down, take a breath, and center ourselves before Christmas Day. (Please note this will be the only service on Christmas Eve-there will be no morning service, just the one 7:00 pm service.)
This year's Advent devotional is available online. You can access it here: online.flippingbook.com/view/136123036/
We have two advent calendars available this year, one for children and one for adults. They will be available at church, and can be accessed in the advent email sent out earlier this week.
