BLUE CHRISTMAS
Sunday, December 7, 1:00 PM
As we approach the season of Advent and Christmas, we recognize that not all things are “Merry and Bright” for each member of our faith family. For many of us, this past year has been marked with difficult transitions, hardships, or loss, and it is more than just the lengthening nights that seem dark. For those who are not quite ready to sing Joy to the World and would benefit from spending some time acknowledging the difficulty of the season, we’d like to invite you to join us for our annual Blue Christmas service on Sunday, December 7th, at 1:00 PM in Chapel of the Cross. This service will include time of prayer, reflection, and listening for God’s words of comfort for those who mourn this season.

How well do you relate to others? Do you have control over your passions? Forget the world's wisdom on these matters and its definition of "tolerance."

COS SHIRT SALES!!!
Sale Ends December 10th
We’re excited to offer something new this Christmas season: an online store where you can pre-order COS t-shirts! This is a limited-time opportunity — the store is only open December 1–10. Because this is our first time using an online pre-order system, here’s a quick explanation of how it works:
- You place your order online between Dec 1–10.
- After the store closes, the printer orders the blank shirts and prints exactly what was ordered.
- Your shirts will be ready for pick-up at Church of the Servant on Sunday, December 21.
This process helps us avoid extra inventory, but it also means all items are final sale and we cannot offer exchanges or returns. We hope this simple online system makes it Don’t wait — the store closes December 10!
POINSETTIAS FOR SALE!
Purchase a poinsettia for $20/ea in memory or honor of a friend or loved one. Orders can be made online by credit card, or by check or cash at Guest Central, or in the Church Office.
