Advent & Christmas Seasons

We've lit up the building, inside and out this year.  Somehow that makes it feel more festive and a little bit warmer.  The extra light brightens the season here in the North where daylight is at a premium at this time of year.  

We've been enjoying the weekly lighting of the Advent candles and reflecting upon the meaning for the season.  Last week (photo above) we celebrated the 3. Advent (theme of JOY) by giving pink roses to those who attended our evening celebration ("Heaven @ Seven"). The theme for the 4th Sunday is "Love."  We would *LOVE* to have you attend one of our activities as we bring Advent to a close and begin our celebration of Christmas: 

Sunday, the 22nd, we have our two morning services (8:30 and 10:00).  Our evening informal gathering "Heaven @ 7" is, as you guessed it, at 7 p.m.

On Monday, the 23rd, we will go caroling around the community.  This is a good chance to share our love and care for the people of Girdwood, as well as members of our chapel who are shut-in or unable to attend services regularly.  We will be gathering at 7 p.m. and head out to sing shortly thereafter.  We hope to be back at the chapel by 8:30 p.m. to enjoy a time of singing Christmas carols while enjoying some warm chocolate, cider, etc., to warm back up again.  Join us for either/both activities.

On Tuesday, the 24th (Christmas Eve), the annual Christmas pageant will be presented at the Hotel Alyeska, followed by our Christmas Eve service at 7 p.m. in our chapel.

We hope to see you at these holiday activities.  Merry CHRISTmas!
