THIS Sunday, November 16, 5:30pm-7pm, Fellowship Hall. Register by end of day today! Join Us for Advent Night — A “Happy Little” Christmas Painting Party with Paula Landry.
All are welcome to our Advent Night celebration—a joyful and creative evening where faith meets art. This year, we’re channeling our inner Bob Ross as Paula Landry guides us through painting a peaceful scene of Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, and the manger, a “happy little masterpiece” that captures the heart of Christmas.
We’ll sip on warm cocoa from our cozy hot chocolate bar, enjoy delicious treats, and let the brushstrokes remind us of the hope, peace, joy, and love that Advent brings. No experience is needed, just bring your smile, your church family, and a heart ready to slow down and celebrate this beautiful season of waiting and wonder.
Cost is $25 per household. Please register ONE (1) person from your household. Tell us the number of people in your party in the additional information section. You can also add their names in the memo section.
| Thursday, November 20th, 11:00am-9:00pm. Join us for a Spirit Day at Burger Crush to support our Children’s Ministries! Visit any time during business hours and let them know you are with SFUMC. Burger Crush, Concord Road S.E. | |

A sparkle of hope, a gift from the heart,
A chance for a family to make a new start.
One little tag, hanging quietly there,
Holds dreams and wishes wrapped up in care.
Choose an angel, let kindness lead,
Fulfill a wish, meet a need.
Your love can shine, gentle and true
Help a wish come real, and joy will find you.
Our Angel Wish Tree, sponsored by the United Women in Faith will be up, beginning this Sunday, Nov. 16th, in the Welcome Center. Instructions on how to fill a wish will be available on the table by the tree. Let the season begin with giving.
