Hi Church! 

This Sunday is the first in the Advent Season. We're excited to have Sarah Smith preaching, beginning this seasons series on the New Testament epistle readings, "Letters for Those Who Wait." These texts lead us through these weeks of preparation and anticipation, reminding us of Christ's coming and coming again.

You can sign up for this week and next week below: 

First Sunday of Advent - November 29, 2020
Second Sunday of Advent - December 6, 2020

As well, check out here for the Advent plans at COTC. A couple of specific highlights are the opportunity to participate in The Immigration Coalitions blanket and gift campaign, the Advent Garden bags for household engagement, and our next series of Word on the Way podcasts, beginning this Monday, November 30th. 

In Him,

Peter+

Ps. Here again our our protocols for in person worship: 

• Please do not attend services if you are symptomatic or if you have been in contact with someone who is symptomatic.

• Plan to arrive a few minutes early to check in and get your appointed seating area.

• Please wear a mask (all adults and school-aged children)

• Use sanitizing stations as needed.

• Maintain social distance of six feet separation from those outside your household.

• Please plan to move outdoors quickly following the 11am service for any time of fellowship.

• Communion will be “in one kind” only, the offering and Passing of the peace will be “no touch.”
