The Live Nativity is a fun family oriented re-telling of the birth of Jesus. There is singing, there are costumes, and of course, plenty of live animals to pet and provide comic relief during the readings. Come a little early to find your costume.  You can be Mary, a star, an angel, a Shepherd, a wise-man…..  Just come!

Due to the road closures associated with the Triathalon on the morning of Sunday, December 2nd, we will be having our worship service on Saturday, December 1st at 5:00 pm.

The Bible Tells Me So

“Jesus loves me this I know…” the song goes.  It’s something the Bible tells us.  But, the Bible tells us a lot of things.  Surveys reveal that most people, and many Christians, don’t really know what the Bible tells us.

On Saturday, December 8th, we’ll gather from 3:30 – 5:00 pm around the following questions: what is the connection between Christ & country?  How can I be a Christian and a citizen? What does it mean to be in the world but not of the world?

BBQ on the Hill

After the discussion, stay for our monthly BBQ Potluck on the hill.  You’re invited to bring something to grill or a plate to share.  We conclude the evening with a fireside chat.  This month’s quote comes from Jesus: “But the Advocate/Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you.” The question will be: which one is it?  Advocate or Comforter?

Jazz Vespers

The music has always been good. The crowd continues to grow.  You can help spread the work on Facebook or in person. This month we’re welcoming Dmitri “Pikey” Copeman and other local artists.  December is Universal Human Rights Month.  The articles of the UN Declaration will give focus to our readings and prayers.

Yoga for the People

If you’re looking for new ways to pray, clear your mind, and heal your body, then don’t forget that SCRC hosts yoga twice a week. You can join other members of the community and congregation on Wednesday evenings at 6:15 pm and Friday mornings at 9:00 am. The practice is led by Claudia Collins and is free for everyone (but we are taking donations).

Classes will resume as normal on Wednesday evenings at 6:15 pm and Friday mornings at 9:00 am.  Please join us for one or both weekly sessions.

SCRC has a tradition of gathering on Thanksgiving Day for a traditional family feast.  You can come as a family.  You can come alone.  You can come if you are a part of the congregation or is you are part of the community.  Turkey will be provided.  Bring a dish to share.

We are working to coordinate representatives for different task committees.  Please join and see how you can help.

On the Sunday following Thanksgiving, you’re invited to stay after worship to decorate the sanctuary for Advent and enjoy some soup.  There may even be some Thanksgiving left overs!  Mark your calendars for Sunday, November 25th.

Join us for Thanksgiving at St Croix Reformed Church.  The turkey will be provided.  Bring  a dish to share.

The grill will be hot and ready to go at 5:30 pm. Bring what ever you would like to grill and a dish to share.  We look forward to a fire side chat with Pastor Peter to end the night.

Volunteering includes walking dogs, cuddling puppies, or kittens, cleaning food dishes, etc.  If you can’t make it on Saturday, please consider dropping off newspapers,  gently used towels, or pedigree puppy food.  We have a collection container at the Church and we will make sure the donations get to the Pet Place.

We’ll be enjoying the music of Adjoa and raising awareness of National Health Month along with Military Month.  The doors open at 5:00 pm and the music will begin at 5:30 pm.  There will be light refreshments following the event.
