The Open Door Class invites all to a special Advent series by Adam Hamilton
Imagine Jesus from Mary’s point-of-view—proud of her son, in awe of his gifts and mission, guided by love for him as a person and so much more. Adam Hamilton begins at the end, with Mary at the crucifixion and resurrection; travels back in time as she witnesses his life and ministry; and ends at the beginning, with the Christ child born in a stable, Mary’s beautiful baby. This year, experience Advent and Christmas with Mary. 5-Week Series begins on Nov. 23 at 9:00 AM. Contact Don Morgan to order a book. $15 [email protected] or 206-902-7039
Please come and help get the church decorated for the Advent and Christmas season on Saturday, November 29 at 1:30 PM. People of all ages and abilities are invited!
