DREAMING WITH THE ANGELS

This Advent, we invite you to pause, breathe deeply, and listen for the dreams of God stirring within and around us. Before the angels sang and shepherds ran, before Mary whispered her yes, God was already dreaming—a world remade by grace.

Our Advent series, Dreaming with the Angels, written and preached by Rev. Dr. Glen Miles, invites us to join in that holy imagination. Each week, Glen will guide us through the dreams of hope, peace, joy, and love—the divine longings that still take shape in our world through Christ.

Together we’ll light candles, share stories, and open our hearts to the God who is still dreaming through us.

Come and dream with us this season as we follow the starlight toward Bethlehem, trusting that the same God who dreamed creation into being continues to awaken love in every heart.

“Camel Lot”
 7 PM | FC North

Join us for a joyful Christmas musical presented by our Youth Choir! This year’s production, Camel Lot from Little Big Stuff Music, takes us on a hilarious and heartfelt journey to the royal stables of Bethlehem—where young camel keepers learn that no one is too small for God’s big plans.

Through catchy songs, creative storytelling, and a few unforgettable camels, our children will remind us that the greatest gift of all isn’t found in a palace, but in a humble stable where love was born.

Bring your family, invite your friends, and come ready to smile, sing, and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas together!
