Our annual Christmas-season blood drive is scheduled with Miller-Keystone for Friday, December 28 from 2:00pm to 7:00pm. Please sign up in the narthex or call the office to make an appointment. Miller-Keystone Blood Center is the only blood provider to many of our local hospitals.

Please consider donating your blood to help others in need! For more information visitwww.giveapint.org.

This year, Christmas Eve is on Monday, December 24. Our worship service will take place at 9:00pm, with music and a time for meditation beginning at 8:30pm.  Our St. James Choir and Bell Choir will offer selections, along with soloists, and we’ll hear the familiar Scripture passages sharing the Christmas story as we sing our favorite hymns.  Our worship will include communion, Silent Night by candlelight, and as usual a jubilant closing chorus of Joy to the World!
