Advent at Rehobeth
Advent is a time of reflection and renewal as we anticipate Christ's birth. From a special sermon series and optional Bible study to special mission opportunities and gatherings, we invite you to celebrate this season with us!
Special Services:
-
December 22: Christmas Cantata at 10:00 a.m. in the sanctuary
-
December 24: Christmas Eve service at 6:00 p.m. in the sanctuary
Rediscover Christmas
Beginning December 1, our 4-week sermon series, Rediscover Christmas, encourages us to recapture our holiday spirit through God's Word. Topics each week include:
​
-
Find Hope in Our Uncertainties
-
Find Joy in Our Discouragements
-
Find Peace in Our Struggles
-
Find Love in Our Differences
Note that because our Christmas Cantata will be held on December 22, Pastor Tony will release a special video devotional on Facebook and YouTube covering this final topic.
Bible Study
To expand on our Rediscover Christmas sermon series, join us for the accompanying Bible study on Tuesday evenings, December 3-24, at 5:00 p.m. If you are interested in participating, write your name on the sign-up sheet in the Narthex.
Wreath-Making Event
Join us for a festive and creative holiday tradition: Rehobeth's annual Wreath-making Event! It's the perfect opportunity to craft your own wreath and enjoy holiday cheer with friends and neighbors. We will meet Friday, December 6, from 9:00 to 2:00 p.m. and again on Saturday, December 7, from 9:00 a.m. to noon at Julie Howard's home. There will be a minimal charge for metal frames and bows. Greenery will be provided at no cost. Bring any personal decorations or items you'd like to incorporate into your wreath. Whether you are a wreath-making pro or a first-timer, everyone is welcome!
