We are holding an advent conversation on the book. “All Creation Waits: The Advent Mystery of New Beginnings” by Gayle Boss. The book is set up like an advent calendar. Each daily read is 2 pages, and they are about the mysterious instinct given from God his creatures to survive the dark waiting times. We had a great time this past week and would love to have you join us. Books are on the table. Pick one up and join us on Tuesday.

Homeless Care Packages.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have donated items for this year's Advent Mission. However, we are still short of some items. We will be putting the packages together the week between Christmas and New Year's. An updated list of items needed is below. If you are able to give, we really appreciate it.
1. Hand sanitizer or wipes
2. small (8 oz) bottles of water
3. rain ponchos
4. toothbrush & paste (small)
5. emergency blanket (you can get on Amazon for $1.50 each)
6. triple antibiotic ointment
If you are able to do so, please pick an item to donate. A place will be provided on the back table of the Gathering Room to put your items. We are hoping to make at least 50 care packages. Once the packages are completed, we invite everyone to take a few packages and keep them in your vehicle. When you come across a person in need, please hand them one of the packages.
If you have any questions, you can contact Sarah Zachow or Dixie Pope
Thank you and God Bless!
Mission Committee

Please join us for Candlelight Service with Cedar Springs UMC at 7 pm, Christmas Eve!
Worship Service is Sundays at 9:15 am, or view it on the web.
A new addition to the outside of East Nelson Church is a book exchange library. The idea is to take a book then leave a book. It's not a requirement to leave a book but if you are done with a book just place it in the library. Puzzles, children's book, coloring books, etc... are welcomed too.
Also a prayer box is also available next the Jackson Library. If you or someone you know needs prayers, please fill out the card and drop it in the slot. Every prayer card will be confidential. Prayers work and we want to pray for you!

Every Sunday at 9:15 am.
Live streamed on YouTube.
We will be sending out a monthly mailed Connections Newsletter, as well as, a weekly E-Connections email.
