Join us at University Church for the season of Advent – the anxious preparing and anxious waiting for the coming of Christ. Our events include:

 

Advent-Festival-intro-2All are invited to UChurch’s Advent Festival potluck. Bring food to share if you can, or sign up to help set up or clean up. The Holiday Fair is back with homemade treats, Fair Trade goods, and handmade gifts.

Do you have a taste for homemade jam? Or would you like to order some yummy baked goods for your holiday entertaining? Perhaps you’d like to select an unusual gift from the various “interesting” donations that arrive at our church for resale?

This year we will offer some items for sale on the day of the Advent Festival, Saturday, December 5, and the two Sundays following, December 6 and 13. Plan to do some shopping on December 5 from 12-3:00 pm or from 5:30-8:00 pm.

Do you have items to donate or are you interested in helping? Contact our Holiday Fair angels, Karen Fields or Diane Herrmann.

What better way to anticipate the coming of Christ with Zoo Lights! The lights can remind us of the Light in the life of Jesus and if some of you go ahead of us to see the animals let them remind you that all of creation is involved in this anticipation. Join us on Monday, December 14, 2015 at 4pm at the church for pizza and ride in the carpool to the zoo.
