Angel Tree

A HUGE thank you for your amazing response to adopt a family! There are many families remaining, and our Angel Tree team will be at the Thanksgiving service today, 11/27, as well as at each service this weekend, Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. Stop by and select a family to shop for!

For those who have gifts and food boxes to drop off, please bring them to La Sagrada Familia next Wednesday, Dec. 4, from 8am until 7pm or Saturday, Dec. 7, 1:00-4pm. Find more details here, or donate online here, by selecting Angel Tree from the drop-down menu under 'Fund.'



If you cannot shop but still want to help, you can purchase Fry’s, Target or WalMart Gifts Cards and drop them off at the office, or write a check to La Casa de Cristo and designate in memo field 'Angel Tree.' These funds will be used for groceries and basic needs. Please do not purchase gifts or material items if you didn’t adopt an angel; we suggest gift cards or monetary donations. Also, you can help to deliver gifts on Sat., December 14 at 8am, leaving from La Sagrada Familia, 2500 E. Campo Bello Drive. Just show up!

Christ The King Liturgical Calendar

The church liturgical year is coming to a close. Come Advent, we start a whole new church year. In these last two weeks of the current year you are invited into a devotional to help you reflect on the last year and prepare for a new year. It is a way of centering your life on Christ. The devotional is called "Journey of the King." It guides us through the church liturgical year and encourages us to prayerfully ask ourselves the question, "Is Jesus my King?" Explore this free devotional, written by Pastor Matthew Knopf, on the La Casa de Cristo church app.

La Casa de Cristo Through the Years

From Bethlehem Days with a live nativity through Journey Through Bethlehem in more recent years, La Casa de Cristo has a long history of celebrating the birth of Jesus and teaching the nativity story. Pictured here, 1977's live nativity, is one of the many images captured and preserved for our reminiscing pleasure!

Advent Wreaths is a long-standing tradition, as well. Bring your family on Dec. 1 to make a wreath with fresh greens and purple candles for your table. Sign up here.

Don't forget to invite family, friends, and neighbors to Journey Through Bethlehem! Click here.
