"A prison cell, in which one waits, hopes... and is completely dependent on the fact that the door of freedom has to be opened from the outside, is not a bad picture of Advent."

Mon Dec 7

We are the host site for the annual community Messiah Sing this Saturday, December 12th at 7:00 pm in our sanctuary.  The organizing group is the Akron Area Association of Churches.

The prayer labyrinth will be available in the Fellowship Hall on Sunday, December 13th, 1-3 pm.  This is a wonderful way to share a deepening spiritual experience in the Christian season of Advent.  Walking the labyrinth will take 15 minutes to 1/2 hour.

Our Christmas Eve service is at 8:00 pm on the 24th.  This year the service will be a Fairlawn West service specifically instead of a combined service.
