Holden Evening Prayer
We celebrate the season of Advent with prayer and reflection in Holden Eve Prayer, 5:30pm on Wednesday nights, Nov 30, Dec 7 and 14 followed by Soup suppers together.
Blue Christmas Service
On Dec 21 at 5:30pm we will have a Blue Christmas service. This is a quiet contemplative liturgy on the darkest day of the year that honors those for whom Christmas may not feel “merry and bright.” In it we acknowledge what may be sad or painful in this season and bring those feelings to God in faith and hope for transformation in God’s time, if not our own. There will be a soup supper after each of these Wednesday services.

Spring Clean Up 2022
Last Saturday’s Spring Cleanup proved to be very productive, with some cleaning inside the church but, a tremendous amount of tree trimming done by our handyman, Jerome. Two large trailer loads of branches were taken to the city drop off area. Special thanks to those that helped: Mo. Christina, Alice, Keel & Patty, Laurel & Jeff.
The Children's Prayer Garden
The “Walking Cross”, in the Children’s Prayer Garden, has been set in place. LGC (Landscape Garden Center) did an excellent job. The “Walking Cross“ has three colors of pavers and a fire pit in the center area.
Chris Clem wore out his back and muscles digging three big holes for the three Oak trees that we planted on one very late evening. We were trying to beat the forecasted rains, and we did. Also, Chris dug nine more holes for the boxwood bushes that are at the head of the Cross. (He is an animal) LOL.
Joe and Laurel Dose have graciously donated four bench’s for this project. A very BIG ‘Thank You’ to Joe and Laurel.
The beautification committee is now planning on how to proceed with the enhancement of this area. More shrubs, flowers, some assorted plants and a walking path to the Cross.
Please take some time to walk to the south side to the church and view this wonderful addition to our church property.
