Advent 4 - Love
Join us for Sunday Worship at 10:30 am
Lights in the Link, December 21 4-6 pm
An interactive art installation is coming to Red Deer Lake Church, inspired by the
Advent themes of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love — the same themes represented by the
traditional Advent candles.
Over three evenings, come see the faux stained-glass window taking shape, enjoy hot chocolate, Christmas Music and create your own piece to add to the display.
Your artwork will remain in the windows until January 6, when you may take it home or leave it as part of next year’s project. This is a free event.
Longest Night Service, 7:00 pm
Join us for a gentle and contemplative service that acknowledges the realities many face during the holiday season - whether it is stress at work, the loss of a loved one, or a general heaviness during this time of year. All are welcome to gather for quiet reflection and remembrance as we listen for words of hope and look toward the light that shines in the darkness of the longest night. During the service, we will also light a candle in memory of each member we have lost this year.
