Advent Season & Christmas

Holden Evening Prayer Services

Beginning December 4th – During the Advent season, we will hold Wednesday Evening Holden Prayer Services at 7:00pm. This is less than an hour of song to celebrate the Advent season. It is beautiful, peaceful, and a wonderful way to center during the busy weeks of December.

Women’s Advent Brunch

December 7th, 10:00am – This annual event is full of fellowship and fun for all Bethesda women and guests. Tickets are $10 and include the meal. In the past, we have welcomed a choir from Shasta Middle School, enjoyed holiday stories from speakers, and participated in a sing-a-long of Christmas carols! It’s a wonderful and festive event that ladies of all ages adore.

Giving Tree

Each holiday season, we select 20 families to support with our Christmas Giving Tree. Each family will get a tree, a food box, a Winco gift card, and presents for each child. Church members are asked to take one or more tags from the Giving Tree, located in the lobby, and donate to this important ministry. You can donate food, money, or presents. Be sure to remove the bottom half of any gift tags and put them in the giving tree box. Thank you for your blessings. These are families in great need who otherwise would not have a very Merry Christmas.

You can sponsor a family, we will do the shopping for you! The approximate cost for each family that has 2 children is $300. If you can sponsor a family, we will leave them off the tree and purchase all the gifts for you. If you decide to do this, please write a card to the family and include your name if you wish.
