The Church of St. Francis of Assisi Music Ministry is hosting our
5th annual Christmas Carols with the Choir

3:00 PM, Sunday, December 17th
in the Upper Church

A free will offering to support the music ministry will be taken up.

The Christmas trees, the wreaths and the poinsettias which adorn our sanctuary at Christmas are offered to honor the birth of Christ and to glorify God

We invite you to memorialize members of your family, friends or other loved ones with a donation for our Christmas decorations. Donations and the names of those received by December 14th will be included in the bulletin of December 20th.

You can make your donations online HERE, or use the cut out in the weekly bulletin and drop it off at the front desk.

Thank you for helping make our church beautiful for Christmas.

Join our LGBT and Young Adult ministries as we delve into the scriptures of Advent.

All are welcome.

Grab your skates and meet us at Bryant Park for some ice skating!

Monday, December 11th
at 6:00 PM (until we all feel like leaving)
in Bryant Park (located on 6th Avenue between 40th & 42nd streets0

The Young Adult ministry is once again heading out to Bryant Park for a night of skating to celebrate the Holiday season.

Not a fan of skating?  Grab a hot cocoa and wander around the Winter Village Christmas shops!  We will all meet up after skating for one last cocoa (or something like that…)

If you are new to the ministry, some of our coordinators will be wearing a sticker with our logo (below) so you can find us.  Please introduce yourselves!

Or if you like, meet at the Church of St. Francis of Assisi before 6 PM and some of us will walk over together.

It’s free…  you only have to pay to rent skates if you don’t have them.

All St. Francis of Assisi young adults and friends are welcome!
