Sunday, December 14, 6:00 p.m.
For many of us, Christmas is a bittersweet time of year. It is a time for remembering both persons and events that have been a part of our lives in the past, but that are now changed or gone. This is the time of year with the longest nights, so around this time we offer a quiet, meditative worship service that makes time for remembering, sharing our hurting places with God, and preparing our hearts for the coming of Christ. Join us on Sunday, December 14, at 6:00 pm, for a time of special music, scripture, stories, silent reflection and healing prayer. Please come and offer to accompany someone for whom rejoicing is just hard work this year. Please call Pastor Susan if you have any questions about this service or if you would like her to invite someone.
Worship Remembering Those We Miss At Christmas

Wednesday Dec 24 at 8:00 pm

Voices softly singing Silent Night…faces lit by candlelight. It’s Christmas Eve Service and the time when we truly celebrate the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.  If this service isn’t part of your Christmas celebrations, please put it on your calendar.  If it is, then invite a neighbor or friend from work to come with you.  This is a service of readings and special music, when we re-tell the Christmas story and feel again the wonder of God’s love for us.

Please come out and join in the fun! 

More people to share the love of Christ with our youngest worshippers.

Children ages 6 and under leave our worship service each Sunday after the Children’s Message. They need you to lead them in a brief age-appropriate lesson (provided) that goes along with Pastor Susan’s sermon. This takes less than 45 minutes once every 4 to 6 weeks.

If this sounds like a way you would like to serve at Shiloh, please call Joy Abe.
