A New Elective for Advent
Changed in the Waiting

Our time spent waiting can shape us - if we let it.
The virtues of hope, love, joy, and peace are the hallmarks of God's work in all of history.  Advent is especially marked by these virtues, and so are we when we lean into the transformational opportunity of this unique season.  Discover that waiting is not empty time at all.  It is full of God's presence and opportunities to be changed.

Join us on Sunday mornings beginning Dec. 1
at 9:15am in Room 201

Fruit Baskets
December 12

Once again this year, we will be making and delivering fruit baskets to our church members who don't get out much anymore.  Bring all fruit to the church by December 11.
If you would like to be part of this team,
contact Marlene Johnston, Diana Shenefield,
Mia Scher, or Vonna McKinney
at info@hnaz.org.
